Thanks for the images. My pistol is indeed the same one from the US collection as that is who I purchased it from

These images from a vendors website suggest this is a copy of fairly recent manufacture.

In wheellock times there certainly has not been a serial production of wheellock miniatures, all the today known miniatures of the 16th and 17th century are different from each other. But as there are with your example at least two equal miniatures with only very minor differences I think that both pistols are made during the time of historism or even later.
