1880's Tranter's Patent Pistol Repair

 I've had this odd pistol floating around for many years, not knowing what it was, as there are no legible markings on it other than a small string of letters and a partial serial number. The rear sight was missing, as was something mounted to the rear of the break-open barrel, but I didn't know what that something might be without seeing a similar gun. So, a few days ago I decided to see if I could find out anything at all from the vast interweb on this jewel.
