Loft find looking for help to identify pistol.

Hi folks,
I'm new to the forum though I have collected a number of antiques, mainly swords and militaria.

A friend has a pistol and is seeking information from Members.

Found in Portugal but possibly English going by Tower stamp.

Looks like a modern replica from here. It has all the stamping on the barrel like you find only on modern guns.

Phil Coffins is correct. Definitely a cheap modern reproduction.

Ditto on above opinions.
Modern parts aged to look old.

A very inexpensive, think $30, from the 1970s or 60s that has been neglected.

Welcome to the forum. I believe the 3 ring stamp on the barrel is a Spanish Black powder definite proof mark. and a partial Eibar proof house mark. Definitely a modern reproduction but date ? 1960's - 70's- 80's ?

Thanks,
O.R.

I agree it's a replica of the English Sea Service pistol although the originals had a sash clip on the opposite side pictured.
