Caucasian percussion pistol ?

Jim McDougall · Today, 06:47 AM

This is what I presume is a late 19th c. Caucasian pistol, percussion, but no markings of any kind. I have thought maybe Liege? but even they had proofs etc.
Would appreciate thoughts.

Hi Jim,

Regards,
Norman.

OMG Norman! you did it again!
So according to this link, one of 2000 of these made by Herman Tanner, Belgium for Russian Kuban Cossacks during Crimean war (1853-56).
.60 cal.
Amazing, how did I miss this all these years?
THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN MY FRIEND!
