Oof! That's a hefty-looking barrel, Berkley. Looks like a nice piece though. The mother-of-pearl's probably recent but quite artistically done, which is always satisfying to see. What sort of dimensions is she?
The buggers do get into one's imagination somewhat, don't they? I think for some people (i.e. people with overactive imaginations, such as I), the jezail has the same romantic, frontier lure as the Colts and Winchesters associated with the Old West. Perhaps, too, there's just a hint of that eternal fascination with all things strange and exotic which is one mark of humanity's insatiable curiosity.
I'm blaming the second one for my lustful looks at a couple of Moroccan Moukhallas...
