Hi Stelio,
As always your collection is just so amazing! Question: a kariofėlı is a Greek rasak?  http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ighlight=rasak http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ighlight=rasak The two guns are similiar the only difference is the lock, the Greeks used the European flintlock and the Albanians used the Ottoman miquelet lock... Am I right or wrong?  Kubur |

Hello Kubur
Thank you very much for your good words my friend. I would say it is the same type rifle and only the name of the area changes. The mechanism is often the same in both of us but in most Greek we find the European type mechanism. The differences are clear in the designs and the decoration in weapons.Depending on the size and some small differences in the design, Greek rasak have different names.
