In rather a sad state but I always wondered where this pistol originated from.
Measured in a straight line it is 17 inches long , with an actual bore diameter of approx 0.36 inches. Any help , much appreciated.

No it looks old to me and functions ( apart from the missing jaws of the cock ) .

Ok super easy, it's Morocco.
Lot of discussion about this poor quality, some say that it was old touristic objects, late 19th and early 20th (up to 1930).
Some say (including myself) that they were used for fantasia just to make some noise! You have the same debate with the koummiya of the early 20th c. They were nice but with bad blades...
