Found this today. It looks to be percussion cap and I'm guessing early 1800's but I can't find the maker marks anywhere.

I'm not even sure what I'm looking at; but it appears to be a small pistol barrel. The last image doesn't seem to go with the other five. Is that the breech end?

It may be the barrel of a vest pocket percussion pistol. But I see no means of attaching it to a frame. The ELG w/crown cartouche is Belgian. Is the inside of the breech-end threaded? It is either a screw-barrel or missing the breechplug and tang.

The last pics is of the end and I'm sure that is has a nipple in it

Also posted on your thread in todays finds, I think that's a flintlock Belgian muff pistol. In the first pic here the barrel is upside down, but it definitely looks like the hinge point for a frizzen on the barrel. Can you post a photo of it assembled and without the caliper in the way? It looks to be a boxlock type. I can't find an exact match online, but if you ggogle image search brass flintlock muff pistol you'll see plenty of them that are similar.
