Thank you very much Oliver, for the references and you confirmed what i was thinking. Now how old? The pistol is in an excellent condition and I assume that he is not earlier than the 19th c. But with all these archaic features, stock, lock, trigger... I'm just wondering... I was saying Tangier because this pistol is different from the classic and less elaborate South Moroccan pistols with the Dutch lock...
Again thanks!
