A W Spies & Co percusion

Found fire arm in the wall of my house, looking for some history.
It has an eagle on it in what looks like brass or copper. Any ideas?

Pictures will help. I'm sure someone in this forum will have seen it before.

Well as madsmatt said, pictures will definately help. But eagles were used on some German firearms?
And very cool find. I'd love to do something like that. I'd also wonder if maybe it wasn't used in a crime? One of many reasons to hide,bury it in a wall. Something to keep in mind or consider anyhow. lol
I mean I'd hate to see you get her cleaned up, use it, then some strange set of circumstances happen and next thing you know, you're under arrest for something from that guns history simply because you have it. lol
