My nephew has asked me if i could help him find any information about this pistol given to his wife by her family. I told him that all i could tell from the pictures was that the pistol is a cap-fired side-lock single-shot BP pistol. It is heavily decorated and, for some reason, looks vaguely middle-eastern to me.

Any information or leads will be appreciated. They are considering selling the old pistol to help finance a moving truck rental, but they don't want to sell it ignorantly.

I have a few more pictures, but am limited on other information. I am not in the same state as the firearm.
