Hi Stelio.

OK. Thanks for your explanation of Kariofili versus Rasak. I've always wondered. LOL
That brass lockplate is also very interesting. Usually, you only see this feature on some special order European pistols or the occassional Amerian Kentucky/Pennsylvania style rifles. I've only seen one Balkan pistol with a brass lockplate. So this has to be a rare feature for this style of Greek long gun.
Again, two great looking pieces. By the way, thanks for the photos!! I'll add these to my library.
