very long barrel percussion pistol

Hi All
I have just purchased the following pistol
any idea on what it is i have purchased unseen as a Christmas project as it looks like the trigger and hammer spring are both gone or broken
probably spent too much but i have never seen a barrel as long on a pistol like this
i found an allen and wheelock 10 inch barrel similar boot pistol but this definitely is a longer barrel weapon
the German bayonet in the picture has approx a 10 inch blade so i reckon this gun is in or around a 20 inch barrel!
any ideas
Thanks
Ken
