Hello guys, I got this flintlockpistol and it’s missing some parts but could anyone help me indentify the origins of this one?

Looks similar to a French AN 13 military pistol. Hammer is an earlier style so perhaps an older model or maybe a Belgian copy?
 
Finally finished restoring this one, lots of work but now it’s back to it’s former working glory!

Just for comparison, an An XIII.

I do feel that the hammer in the original post is on the large side.

Incidentally, the rammer fits through the hole in the **** for tightening.

Yes I have noticed it won’t make any sparks at all, could be the hammer is too big to get enough speed or something?
