6 Attachment(s)
I've attached a few photos of one oriental pistol This pistol who have a smaller and similar lock than the Algerian moukalha.
I 'm wondering if is from Algeria. I already saw some Algerian pistols but never with the same Lock.
Thanks in advance for any info!

You are right in that Algerian pistols, and not long guns, with this lock, are not usual; still this may well be Algerian.
... and this time the lock seems to have both production date and makers name engraved.
More knowledged members may correct me :o .

Hi Cerjak. What a great looking pistol!! It has the typical Algerian Toe-Lock, but in a smaller pistol size. This is the first Algerian pistol I've seen with this style of lock. Very nice. I am so jealous :( Wonderful! Thanks for sharing. Rick.

There is something very similar to the inlay to this axe. Not just style but also metal and workmanship. Try to ignore the thuluth. I might suggest much further south than Algeria.
