Greetings.
The "kariofili" "καριοφίλι" is a corruption of the name of the Italian firearms maker 'Carlo e figlio' (that means 'Carlo and son'), the barrels were mostly from Brescia, in 1797 Beretta was awarded a "good service certificate" from Napoleon Bonaparte for supplying barrels for 40.000 muskets manufactured by Brescia for the French emperor's grande armee. The Rasak was indeed a Balkanian construction as was the Dzeferdar. Cheers. Last edited by Ian; 29th August 2020 at 11:18 PM. Reason: Removal of links to pictures |

The Greeks instead of the atakti army had and the ieros lohos (sacred band or holy regiment) that had regular, tactic army uniforms.
