 Probably you didn't notice my later paragraph in my post #10.
The opinion of Eduardo Nobre, author of 
As Armas e os Barões, a book where he dedicates a chapter to Egg Butt pistols, with an introduction to this species plus some twenty multi angle ilustrated examples, is that yours is from the transition period XVIII - XIX centuries.
Obviously you are not compelled to accept such opinion
