    Muff Pistol ID?

    Hey gang, the cool folks at one of my local antique stores asked me to help them ID a piece new to them. Looks to be a percussion cap, screw barrel muff pistol with a sliding trigger guard/safety. The barrel is not rifled and my belief is that it was supposed to be loaded with an over-sized ball behind the barrel which would be swaged when the barrel was screwed on to help achieve lethal muzzle energy.

    I see no hallmarks, just engraved "London" and what appears to be "Blais" on opposing sides. It seems to function fine but someone took a wrench to the barrel at some point in the past.

    Looks like it, or a remarkably similar pistol, was recently listed on GB with no bids. The second right side photo is intended to show how much the trigger guard slides back.

    Anything else?

    It's ghosting on Google as a past-auction from Gunbroker - (cannot access it as it's an old sale.)
    I would hazard a guess a say it's the same pistol.

    Price-wise - $250-$350 -

      God find Pit, she confirmed its the same pistol but they're still hoping someone knows more.
