Hi again Ivo
That's a nice collection of Albanian pistols. And your new pistol fits in well. Notice the similar locks on all three. But with three different butt cap designs.
The top pistol has the slightly straighter stock and a butt cap somewhat similar to Greek pistols. The middle one (your new one) has a butt cap similar to ones seen on some Ottoman pistols. The bottom one of course being the familiar rat tail. A nice collection.
Just for comparison, here is my trio of Albanian pistols. (Actually, I have two rat tails LOL). The bottom one has the bit straighter stock, and the lesser scene French style flintlock. The middle pistol has yet another common butt cap variation seen on Albanian pistols, with the top being the rat tail.
