My New Balkan pistol.

One suggestion on the European side of the forum is that it is Spanish. A gunsmith friend then suggested a Madrid made pistol, which would account for the "French" style lock and stock. Which seems as good an answer as any at present. When I dismount it, I will post further pictures on both forums.

Hi David.

A good pic of the interior of the lock and the breech plug of the barrel could give us additional clues. Looking forward to your pics. Thanks.

Rick
