What did I buy?

I picked up this flintlock pistol at an aution a couple of weeks ago.

It has bone? inlay, and decorated tang, side plate and barrel.

I took a shot of the only lettering on it...and it's Greek to me...or possibly Russian?

Any help in identity and value would be much appreciated.

I'm pretty confident that is not greek. There does appear to the the Russian letter for "Ya", a backwards R and even the "Ee" sound that looks like an H but the words don't sound like any familiar Russian words or manufacturer that I've come across.

What was it described as?

I didn't notice a barrel crack...I'll look a little closer when I get home. It was simply described as a "Flintlock pistol"...

A friend pick up a nice vest pocket Colt .25 a few weeks ago from the same Auction...it was described as "Unknown Pistol" and he got it for $175.00.

I just looked at the pictures again and that's not a crack...it's decoration on the barrel, a raised and engraved area.
