Welcome to the forum. Any chance you can post some pictures to help the boys ID your pistol?

All I could find was Jalabert-Lamotte were a gunmaking outfit out of St-Etienne France. Most of the pics I've seen indicate that they were certainly around in the 18th and 19th centuries (flint and percussion guns). Whether they existed before or after those centuries I don't know. I couldn't find anything else. :idunno: Here is a beautiful brace of flint pistols by them.
