Is this an English Pistol?

nhp1127
Hi,

Next up for ID... would like to know who made this and approx year. I'm just guessing but I'd say English. It also has stamping on the barrel which I think says something like " B.I.D L" or similar. Stamped on the left side in the wood is "284" with some sort of hallmark underneath it. This was purchased in Denmark in 1955 aswell. Any info would be appreciated.022qu.jpg

    It looks mike a converted (from flintlock) and modified British New Land Pattern pistol with a very unique hammer.

    FYI- The hammer has two positions. Pull it back once and it locks in place and you can't pull the trigger. Pull it all the way back and it locks in place and then you can pull the trigger. The trigger mechanisms work on all three guns.

    The first click is the "safety" position so they could carry it loaded. It also facilitated priming the flash pan.
