Hi Okiemoss. Welcome to the Forum.
That is a nice London made pocket pistol. These high quality, smaller pistols were usually carried for personal protection. The back-action style of percussion lock on your pistol likely places it somewhere in the 1850-1870 period. Various gunsmiths would often build these pistol with an individual customer's preferences. Unless built as a pair, you don't see any two exactly alike. Your's appears in good condition as they likely did not see any regular usage. Again, nice example.
Here is one I own. Although a bit larger belt hook size. Seems like many of these London made pocket pistols were handled back and forth more often than actually fired.
