Of course you're right, Nando,

They must be on some older back-up disc dating back about 8 years, and saving my data from an earlier computer of mine.


Actually I have seen many of them but never integrated one with my collection, as they strictly belong to the Ottoman cultural area starting with Romania, Macedonia and Albania, instead of the Western European sphere.

I attached a sample which I copied from this site:

For more on Western gun flints and their usually undecorated coatings or wrappings, please cf.:

Some samples from the latter site attached below.


Best,
