Here are two pistols which I can easily associate with the Balkans.
The second one is Greek.
If I may I suggest two books
Elgood, Firearms of the Islamic world
Elgood, The Arms of Greece and Her Balkan Neighbors in the Ottoman Period
Our French friend is right, most these pistols are from the Balkans.
But you are right also, the limit is very thin, it's like some daggers or swords...
Anyway these weapons were produced for the Ottoman market!
