Any help on the origins of this odd-looking side-lock pistol?

Anybody care to add some info on this sidelock for my nephew? I have not handled it. It is so decorative that i wonder if it was built as a wall hanger, but i am a n00b at the BP stuff.

All i could tell him was that it was cap-fired not flint. It looks like Turkish or middle eastern to me for some odd reason (old movies?).

The boy is thinking about selling this thing to help finance a move. I haven't got to handle it myself.

Thanks.
