What's the expected actual use? Costume? One-off range trip? Repeated range trips? You can go from non-firing replicas for costume use to inexpensive Middlesex guns for light load range trips or get something nicer for more $$.
Pedersoli Kentucky is what leapt to mind for me too. I have one, and that's pretty much people's reaction to it - pirate pistol! Looks like Dixie has them for $425 plus you'll need supplies to actually shoot it, so a little over your price range but very cool.
It will need some filing and sanding of the wood and filing and polishing of the brass but it does not take too long to finish. I bought the percussion version. It took me about 4 evenings and a part of a saturday to finish but it looks and shoots great. Be sure you have a source for black powder before you order it though......
Dixie Gun Works used to sell a "Tower Flintlock Pistol" in .69 calibre that looked very piratey. They haven't carried them for a few years, but they show up on the gun auctions from time to time in the $150-$250 range.
Yeah, the old Dixie catalog mentioned the soft frizzen problem with them. They also sold a case hardening compound to reharden them, so they'd spark reliably. I think the original catalog price was about $39.95, so what can you expect!
