another 1858

I was at a gun show Saturday and picked up an old brass frame 1858 for $75

It looks pretty rough on the outside but the bore looks good and it seems to lock in right. One slight problem that I am having is that, at half cock, the bolt pops up to early, just before it locks into half cock. Unless I cock it very very gently, in which case I can get it to lock into half cock without the bolt coming up.
I cant find a makers mark, but I am pretty sure it is not Uberti, Pietta, or Euroarms.

This pistol has a pretty unique trigger bolt spring, that I though somebody here might recognize. anyone seen something like this before?
