Another pistol for Identification

Hi Oz.
WOW!! Another really nice pistol, with some neat, unusual features. I notice the use of larger diameter, flattened silver wire sitting well above the stock, versus the small, thin diameter wire usually encountered. And done in an unusual pattern. Also, the cannon style muzzle on the barrel, seldom seen on these Balkan made pistols. The faces on the barrel are often seen on Greek guns. So, this gun may have been made at one of the Balkan gunmaking centers, for the Greek market. At least that's my first impression.

Question: The iron ramrod looks to be full length. Is it so?
Do you have a photo of the trigger guard?

Great looking pistol. Rick.
