This is a very nice pistol barell.
Firearms are not my speciality but i have been advised that this is a European pistol barell from the 17th or 18th century. Do you think that it is European or islamic?
What about the damascus pattern on the barell? Is it typical of a period or place? What about the age and rarity of this item?
I would be gratefull for your contributions.
