The style of the barrel bands and the extensive use of bone makes me think this was North African work.

I agree with TVV, looking more like North African work.
What an amazing pair - never seen anything like these before - beautiful!

Oh I agree with you Khanjar1. At first I would have thought Moroccan, but the stock style doesn't typically fit.......

Unfortunately the "marks" are not clear enough to identify, but that slot is a dovetail for an iron sight of some sort. The hole??? could be a crude way to deactivate the barrel
. IF you have any ideas of firing these, get that hole checked out first!!Stuart |
