Pretty sure that it is Scandinavian. Definitely not British. Looks as if may have been converted from flint.

PS - Crown over CB = Carlsborg Arsenal - there should be that stamped somewhere on the piece.

Lots of BBs over here in UK, classed as an antique that looks like a gun. Anybody over 18 can buy one. One well-known dealer in Leicestershire has a room-full of them, AND martial pistols of the pre-cartridge era.

He sends them all over the world, too, in return only for money.
