Interesting howdah pistol.
I did see a Wilkinson howdah pistol with a side lever go through Christies in 2003. Rather poor photo of it:
Here is a link to it:

The proofs on your pistol are pre-1887.
Thanks for posting.

Champlin Firearms has a really nice pair of Howdah pistols for sale and they are priced individually. I really like the looks of the side lever on this one.
