A friend of mine recently picked up this nice blackpowder pistol at an estate auction. Neither of us are familiar with this type of pistol and would appreciate any info you might be able to offer. Here is a pic and additional links to more:

It is a percussion pepperbox. It is also a modern replica.

A friend had one of those, and it was sort of fun. I just hope ecureed's friend didn't pay more than $100 or so for it.
