I wasn't asking if you were selling this pistol, I was asking if it was being offered to you.
Please excuse any misunderstanding that I'm responsible for there.

To discuss my impression that the pistol has been worked on or refinished--

First thing, the hammers don't look original.
Also, looking at the lock that's visible on the right side of the pistol, the screws that hold it's guts in seem to be 'out of time' also, the screw that holds them to the stock, just aft of the action is also 'out of time'
As well, the escution screws (where the wedge holds the barrels to the wood) don't look original.

I'd need to see better photos, but the lock and action metal appear to have been buffed and re-colored.
Furthermore, the rib looks like it's been filed after-market, and it doesn't appear to be centered over the center between the fences.
Also, the stock seems to have seen some repair near the right hammer.

These all could be due to lighting.
I'm guessing that at least some of these initial things I saw might be accurate.
That doesn't mean much.
This is a neat old Howdah any way you look at it.
I wouldn't likely refuse it!
