Hi Kubur.

WOW!! What a couple more close-up photos will produce.

Unfortunatly, I must agree with Fernando K. This appears to be a Tourist piece. You will probably find that both the lock and barrel are castings versus forgings. If you took the barrel off you will probably find there is no seperate breech plug. It is the most nicely decorated Tourist piece I have ever seen.

That said, I still wish I owned this piece. That it is a Tourist piece would be all the excuse I need to convert it into a shooting gun with a new barrel and utilizing one of my spare miquelet locks out of my collection. LOL I really like the stock decoration on this one.

Rick
