Hi Drabant.
I can't help with the translation, but that is sure a nice looking Algerian long gun. First one I've seen with those two side plates with inscription. Very nice!
Hope someone will be able to help with the translations. It appears you may have two signatures on the lower part of the lock. (?) Would be interesting to know.
Again, very nice piece. I really like these guns. Rick.
