No thoughts about the knife/short sword carried by the Albanian guy at the top of this post.

Looks a bit like a Scythian Akenakes pommel except that the curls turn downward instead of upward.

Hello.
The two guns are the classic type of Greek kariofili gun from my collection and has nothing to do with the Albanian arnautka. The similarities are with the classic Ottoman rasak type.
