Very nice. I assume it is yours? I would think Sindi in origin, and used as a "wall gun".

ANOTHER PICTURE OF A SINDHI GUN

Looks good at a distance!

But clearly all of the brass work & wood work is brand new....

Look at all those fresh cut sharp fresh cut brass & timber edges, unlike the worn old barrel & lock...

Was it sold as original? or antique? Hope it was very cheap?

The stock inlay shows the flag of Pakistan! Ottoman I think not.....As its only just been made.

THANKS KUBUR ,WELL HAVE NEVER HELD A GUN SO HEAVY ,ACTUALLY UNCOMFORTABLE TO CARRY SO I GUESS ITS USED TO FIRE FROM A FORT AND WITH A CANNON KIND OF BARREL IT WAS USED FOR LONG DISTANCES .
