A very nice pistol in the pictures. What do we know about it?

All we know is that it was in a fine collection of pistols.. About 6 are signed and 3 are spectacular.

Clean, neatly stocked percussion era pistol in great condition and with great wood. I really like these longer barreled pistols, and think some of them (unsigned percussions) are possibly "southern" ... although Ohio has turned some out like this. No one can question if it has been flint, since it has the neat little cap container in the butt cap. It's unfortunate that it is unsigned, but it deserves to be in the museum.
