Thanks for the comments.  And, very observant of you to notice the small missing stones, two on each side.  You know, I totally missed this.  Thanks. 
Coral stones ?  Hmmmm.  Or maybe turquoise ?  I realize both were used for decoration throughout much of the Ottoman Empire.  But I seem to only remember Coral stone on Ottoman/Moroccan/Algerian arms.  Don't recall the same on Albanian weapons.  But I could be wrong.  What do you think ?

 Hi Rick,
You might be wrong. I haven't seen turquoise on Albanian weapons.
On your gun I've seen red beads, mother-of-pearl and coral.
Please look at my pistol, the coral is still preserved...
