That's the first thing I checked. No it's not loaded.

Mose,
Probably isn't but it reminds me of a Tower kit I built back in the 70's. Your pistol has a different grip cap and the muzzlecap does not seem to go to the end of the barrel but the rest of it looks like a CVA Tower pistol kit. It'll be interesting if you can ID it.

Did you ever consider that it might be a antique pistol made that way?

The only markings I've found so far are the "Tower 1869" on the lock, A Crown marking behind the hammer with what looks like TR or VR. In front of the hammer is a smaller Crown with a broad arrow mark below it. The barrel has several Crowns on the left breech side.

Have you visited out proof mark pages in the links section?

Here is one that has English proof marks...
