Hi Jim

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...

Hi Cyten

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