Thank you both. Does 1850 seem about the right date for this?

Smooth bore. Would that indicate an earlier date?

Hi Robert,
Nice little pistol! Proof are Birmingham as mentioned above, from 1813 to 1904. Likely the date is close to what you suggest. Maybe a shade earlier with the flat hammers. Smooth or rifled does not suggest earlier or later, as both were used for many years prior to this. Richard. |

Rifled barrels side by side make imho no sense without a suitable sight System.
