pistol

My girlfriend has been handed down an old tower flintlock pistol. This is way out of my area of firearms knowledge and i was hoping someone here could help. It has proof marks on the barrel and also reads GR under a crown and Tower on the lock itself.

Can anyone here offer some first-hand insight into a Pedersoli Percussion Kentucky Pistol versus a Lyman Plains Pistol? I'd like to find a percussion pistol chambered in .54 and these look like the two best candidates? Thanks.
