Thanks Estcrh,
One of the reasons i thought my ltem was Ottoman was because of the square shoulder that drops away behind the match holder/serpentine. I think it is more square than on the majority of the Arab guns i have seen. The examples of Ottoman guns you have posted have the same type of shoulder as mine.

Darren, I am not sure how you can differentiate between an ottoman matchlock and what is being called an "Arab" matchlock. Here are another couple of Ottoman matchlocks.
