Sorry to resurrect another dead thread, but to answer the question of what your pistols provenance is, according to the Historical Museum of Serbia, this pistol is referred to as a Skadarka and made in modern day Shkoder, Albania

Actualy, that silver flintlock pistol is a Ledenica Kubura, it is mainly used in Montenegro, Serbia, Croatia and some in Albania and Greece. It is manufactured in Montenegro city Kotor, Maybe some in Skadar, and some in Bosnia. It is not called Skadarka, in museums they get things wrong many times.
Allso it is not called rat tailed gun, rat tailed gun is a Šilja Kubura or brass bodied pointed end pistol mainly made in Albania.
Ledenica is sometimes allso manufactured in Dubrovnik.
Another notable gun is Bokeljka, made in Boka Kotorska, and in Dubrovnik.
But Ledenica or gun in this tread is mainly from Montenegro and Serbia.
Cheers.
