Dueling pistols

I have a set of dueling pistols. I would like to identify them and find out their value,history ect. I have tried searching the internet without much success. The closest thing I found was a set made by Gastinne-Renette which looked almost the same but I think mine may be a reproduction by another company
I took off the barrel and the only markings I could find were .44 cal and RS(inside a circle) except for what appeared to be proof marks.They are in a wooden case with powder flask,cleaning and tamping rods,mallet,percussion cap box bullet mold ect.
I can e-mail a photo but as of today I can't figure out how to add a picture to this post(I am not very computer literate)
Any help would be appreciated

  Those appear to possibly be Spanish-made ARSA pistols, who make high-quality reproduction pistols, including duellers.
  
  Note the similarites in the fluted barrels, flask and bullet mold.
