I didn't see anything like this when I was in Tunisia last year but arms migrated quite a bit along with the men that used them and a lot of mercenaries from Bosnia and Albania served in N. Africa. Again I'd like to see better pics but looks 18th or early 19th c to me. Nice old soldier

Closeups Ward .
Thanks !
