I like the second, too; the barrel looks good and heavy, and the decoration, while extensive, is actually rather prettily done. I tend to think the more decorated jezails are rather overdone and not particularly attractive, but that old girl is a very handsome specimen.

Yes I tried using it and it was enough stable for this jezail who is not so heavy.
The second one is realy a monster and very heavy with a very nice barrel

Hi Cerjak. Thanks for posting these two very attractive Jezails.
The first one is my favorite. The lock on this one does look European made. Notice the quality of the screws. The bipod is a bonus. And, that fully fluted muzzle end of the barrel is GREAT!! The less extreme curvature of the butt stock and not overly decorated make this gun especially attractive, to me anyway. You just may have to trade me for that gun someday.

The second one is a monster!! Yet, still attractive. The lock on this one was made locally. Notice the crude stamping of "Tower" on the rear of the lockplate. Also looks like a screw from inside the lock threads through the O in the "Tower" stamp? Still an attractive gun - and huge!!

Thanks for Posting these. I REALLY like the first one. Rick.
