Hi Kubur.
Thanks for your comments. The sling and beaded pendent came with the gun. And yes, the fancy knot work on the sling at the barrel and the beaded pendent really add a "tribal" look to the gun. Very neat.
Can't really tell where the barrel was made. No watered/damascus pattern. Just straight iron. Doesn't really look Persian, Ottoman, or Indian. But it's very well made. Beautiful outside profile, with flip-up rear sight, and well executed rifling using the later round bottom rifling, making it easier to clean. And it shoots well. Unfortunatly, there are no marks on the gun anywhere. Thanks for posting.
Rick.
