Good, so now the only guns with this kind of barrel bands are found in North Africa, especially in Algeria.
Lot of people from the Balkans (including Greece) worked in North Africa from Algeria to Egypt.
Would it possible that your Greek rifle was done for a Greek mercenary but in North Africa??
Is it an Italian stamp on your barrel?
