Knee-pistol of the Osmanic Empire

Fernando K · 3rd January 2018, 03:27 PM

Hello

Definitely, it seems to me a lock armed with castings, instead of being forged. I have not seen any indication that has been filed in any part, not even in the springs. The surfaces show a granulate, compatible with casting

The decoration in the barrel in the shape of a zig-zag show a rounded edge, incompatible with the chiseling or chiseled.

A test would be to mount a stone in the foot of the cat (cock or hammer) and shoot, to see if the frizzen produces sparks. If, as I suspect it is false, it would not produce sparks.

is what I think, just by looking at the pictures.

Affectionately. Fernando K

I mean Corrado's gun. Of those that are in the other post, I have to analyze with more time.

Hello

Here I upload an image of a lock of the same origin. As you can see the decoration is in fine lines, achieved with a hand chisel or burin chisel. In the disputed lock, the decoration is rude, because fine lines can not be reproduced in the mold

For example, in post number 8 you can see the upper part of the barrel, with an inscription that seems to be Arabic. They are arabesques, but looking at an Arabic alphabet, I can not find any similar letters, except one

Hi Fernando
I don't understand.
But to me the decorations are engraved and not moulded!
