Moroccan Pistols

Thanks
I have seen these pistols in your book.
There is another kind of Moroccan pistol with a circular / discoid butt.
Not for tourist. Often associated with miquelet lock.
Some locks are purely Spanish, others are influenced by Dutch productions.
Remember that the kingdom of Spain extended up to Holland before.
I know the bone inlays models that you mentioned, they are from the first quarter of the 20th c. They did the same decoration with some koummiya as well. Please, note also that these productions were not only for tourists but also for parades and fantasia. I will post examples of these objects, already sold.
