It all depends on several factors. Some of those old blackpowder pistols are gold inlaid with fancy engraving, while others were plain Jane guns, the same goes for the cap and ball revolvers. As for modern reproductions of the old guns, they're pretty much the same price. I have 6 modern reproductions, 5 are 1858 Remingtons and one is a double barrel percussion pistol and they were all around the same prices.

Who Made The First Blackpowder Pistol?
Almost impossible to answer without a more restrictive specification. Handguns date back centuries to the Chinese, who used fused bamboo tubes loaded with blackpowder and stones. The tube was mounted on the end of a pole so the warrior could hold it out away from his body for safety, and for aiming. I suppose some of them with shorter poles could be considered the first blackpowder pistols. After that, the technology progressed over the centuries to matchlock, flintlock, percussion, and modern cartridges.
Difference between revolver and pistol?
Very generally speaking, a revolver has a revolving cylinder that rotates in order to bring a new round in line with the barrel. A pistol has a single chamber, and fresh rounds are fed into the chamber from a magazine. That is the more recent and slang use of those words. Revolvers and magazine fed semi-automatics are both pistols.
