Hello, please help.
I have this piece for quite some time. What intrigues me in it, is the octogonal flared barrel, impressively thick, and with a deep 7 groove rifled bore. Was this technique currently used in Jezail muskets ?
Another detail i can't explain, is the two suspension rings close from eachother, near the trigger guard. Some peculiar belt hanging system ?
Thanks for your coments.
