Hi Yvain

I have 2-3 of these little containers myself. The committee is still out on what these brass containers were actually used for. Today, collectors refer to them as grease containers for...

Hi Galvano

It appears you indeed have a very nice example of one of the few "Ottoman" matchlocks. Congratulations. Would be well worth cleaning the loose, red rust from the iron parts. You can...

Yes, likely the pistol was made for the tourist market. This one looks like it was made around the 1960's or earlier. More and better quality work went in to making these tourist items then the...

Hi David

I have always thought these tiny flasks were a real curiosity. They seem too small even for a priming flask. Although they are functional and will hold about a half-dozen or so pan...

Agree with Corrado. It's one of the better made tourist items from the 1960's or earlier,which sometimes used a combination of original surplus and new parts. The lock is an original snaphaunce...

Hi Cyten

Agree with Corrado. Appears to be a Dzeferder with a Ottoman/Turkish lock. And possibly a Turkish barrel.

The more decorated example posted by Corrado has one of the more common...

Congratulations !!! That has to be at least one of, if not the best looking example I've seen. And a great job of cleaning. It just looks wonderful. It looks so complete and unmolested.

Interesting Thread to say the least. Thanks Jim for starting.

Depending on what's in that bore, the hot water can make things worse. It just makes everything wet, without making it loose. Same with oil. If there is paper or cloth at the top, a small, bronze...

Hi Drabant

It's good you check the barrels on these old muskets. Once in a great while one turns up to still have a load in the barrel.
You want to locate a metal or wood rod about 6 inches...

Hi Fernando

Yes, the chain came with the measure. (Wish I could find a source for chain like this).
The modern day versions of these measures are marked 20, 30, 40, etc. up to 120. With...

Nice powder measures everyone. I've always "loosely" called these adjustable measures Ottoman, based on what I have read. Though a difference in decoration, note that most of this style of measure...

Hi Corado

I tend to agree with the other two responses. A big give-away that it was made for decoration only is that there are no side lock screws. Just two flat-head wood screws mounting the...

Sorry I can't help with the description. That is a very neat looking blade. I'm more of a gun guy, but I would have bought it too. Looks like a daily use type knife.

Good example Rick. Note the style of chisiling/engraving on both the barrel and lock are fairly consistant, and likely done by the same artist.

I second that !! Incredibally beautiful pistols. The Greeks did seem fond of adding facial masks to their metal work.
