Hi Cerjak.
Yes, now that you mention it, the trigger guard and butt stock do resemble the Taouzilt style of long gun. Very observant of you. It appears that all the camel bone panels and other decoration is still intact, and looks to be in good condition. A super neat Moroccan gun. And please post some additional photos when you receive the gun!!!

Another interesting feature I notice on Cerjak's gun is the longer front finial on the trigger guard. You don't usually see them this long on Moroccan long guns.
It seems the customer wanted a bit of Western influence with the shape of the butt stock and trigger guard. Most interesting piece you don't normally encounter.

Please do post your pistol when you have a chance. By the way, my Torador is finished and on it's way to me. I'll post a final update next weekend.
