Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - Possibly ethnographic gun, of European form

Hello,

I saw simmilar guns, home made copies ("made on knee") of European guns in Nigeria (not everybody has kalashnikov here). And they were even more rough. One bought my friend in Jos a souvenier and another one I saw in hunter´s hut in a village near Bidda.
Nothing tribal like e.g. Kabyle musket etc., just old home made gun - but functional. Nevertheless tut this could be coincidence, I think such gun could come from anywhere.
