Albanian khanjar?

Blade is 29 cm long, thick, rhomboid, with a serious point, a piercing weapon, with no cutting edges. The shape of the horn hilt looks Albanian/Western Balkan.
Is my Albanian attribution correct?...

Nice piece. Too bad it was "converso"ed. The stepped iron barrel looks to be 18th century. A coach gun?

I was just informed that this is a fragment of the painting by William Holman Hunt - "A converted British Family Sheltering a Christian Priest from the Persecution of the Druids", 1850.

Hi,
In this case the shape of the blade doesn't comply with its apparent age, imho. For instance, look at the British-made blades made for the Ethiopian trade. They look like the British Napoleonic...

Hello,
There is a scarce variation of the flintlock mechanism called the Russian style lock. I will post photos of it, once I'm back from my (much deserved) vacation.
