Any proofs? That will help you pin down the country of manufacturer and the proof house where it was submitted. Lefaucheux pinfires were copied by everyone.

They nailed the type but not the maker...
look closely on it for markings. They can lead you to the manufacturer.

I recall seeing a pinfire like this on Pawn Stars. I think it was worth a good amount. Just don't clean it up. They want the firearm to be original.
