    Rebuild of an antique American Side hammer pistol

    I'd be glad , if You would do so , since , by now , I know close to nothing about this pistol ! One of the most interesting things of this pistol might be , that the sear of the side lock also acts as trigger . As You can see : I've already built a model for casting the case/frame

    Can everyone help to indentify this gun ?
