Hi Rick,
Lucky man, really cool stuff as always!
With what did you clean your barrel?
And how you managed to not remove the silver?
I think it's Gardone close to Brescia and it's an Italian barrel (Elgood p. 63).
For the Arabic script and silver decoration, it's very probably from Algiers or Tunis, the translation will help...
Look at our thread on Tunisian guns.
Best,
Kubur
