Very nice. Yours or a museums? There appear to be proofmarks on the barrel, which I cannot identify, but that would indicate to me not made for purely commercial use in the US. Either military or a country that required proofing of firearms and stamps to prove it. But the fancy decoration is not military IMO. How about a closeup of the lock? Any writing on the lockplate? I could be wrong, I am not the expert here, but I get the feeling, not American made. That does not preclude the conversion being American I suppose.
