Dear Cerjak:

In my opinion, the gun is the last period of the spark ingcion, continued to be used in Eastern countries until well into the nineteenth century, say circa 1850.

I think that it is correct for the date when it was made but the lock seems to me more old may be was from a older stock ...

Very true and even later, to ~1900. Percussion guns were in use until WWII.

If I recall right, Liege was under French protectorate for a certain period after 1810, so maybe it was regarded a legit part of France?

By design and decorations, the it appears to be an Ottoman saddle pistol.
