Holly smoke! Look at the price too bad mine isn't mint

Hard to tell from the small pic, but they certainly look the same. My money is that you've nailed the model - though it might just be a Spanish Belgian or Mexican knock-off of the French weapon.

I agree. It is or more likely is modeled on the LeFaucheux 1853 or 1854 model 11MM pinfire pistol.
The pistols I am finding all share some very particular traits; the lanyard ring, octagonal section of the barrel, spur on trigger guard and the overall shape in general etc.

Good to know there are a good number of other pistols like it, as it should make it feasible to find a replacement loading gate and ejector rod.

OK, I just fixed your image to the larger version. I still say yours is either a scrubbed and rebranded LeFaucheux, or a copy.
