" French Kuburpistols "

Hi Eskender.

I'm loosing my mind looking at all these recent posts of pistols.

What an outstanding pair. I would have to take those to bed with me under the pillow. LOL!!

Yes, those pistols, even if unmarked look very European made. And obviously for an Ottoman customer of means.
What I find interesting about these Kubur pistols, wheather plain or decorated, is how the general shape usually follows the 1730-50 French pistol patterns. And continued for a long period of time.

Again, magnificent pair.

Rick
