Your gun is actually Balkan, mostly associated with Albania, though it was used throughout the Peninsula. Nice gun, congratulations.

I agree this time

It's a Tanchika from Albania and / or Bosnia.
Look on the forum you will find plenty.
A Jezail is from Afghanistan
and a Moukhala for North Africa.

Have you seen the rings, one on each side, it seems to be standard...

Hi Kubur, Stu,

Ring (in the middle of barrel) in this example of tanchika seems to be original, but maybe more preference of an owner. Usually both rings were on the same side. Attaching some example.

Looking at the example that I have, the ring near the centre of the barrel is fitted in such a simple manner that it could be easily changed to the other side if desired.

Hi
Here is mine and rings are the same side...

I would point out that the issue of ring placement originated on the thread of the Boyliya gun http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=25695, not this one re the Tanchika.
As you will see if you refer to the thread above, the issue of the placement has been clarified due to my incorrect observance of the pic which was quite dark. Both rings are in fact on the same side.
The comment placed here however is quite correct in that the ring fitment on Tanchika seems to be able to be fitted either side, but most have them on the same side.
Pic attached showing Tanchika "in action".

Thank you for a good start Teodor, that's given me a good starting point and I've done some looking, the name Tancica has appeared, does that apply here?

EDIT

I see that my question has been answered before I asked it.

Thank you Kubur.
