Default Pirate pistol-Arrh!

Here is a so called Mediterrainian flintlock pistol, possibly French, but more likely Turkish? The decoration on it, while rudimentary, is still quite impressive. The brass furniture is likewise well done. I was quite surprised how long this gun was when I purchased it! It has the design of having a ramrod, but it is just a decoration!

Questions-
Period? 1780's-1800?
French, Turk, Algerian or-??
Markings/designs meaning-?
Why did some pieces like this lack a ramrod? Naval use?
