Another Ottoman Pistol

Hello all. Another weekend, another gun.

Here is another Kubur pistol from my collection. This one is heavily decorated and probably made at one of the many gun making centers in the Balkans. About Mid-19th Century. The stock is decorated with brass dot inlays and tiny brass nails. The amazing part is that only four dots are missing. (Don't know the correct name for these little dots, but I wish I could still buy them). It has the false ramrod and a horn tip at the muzzle. Lock in perfect working order.
I bought this about three years ago from a collector/restorer that was only interested in European guns. He thought it was a Russian pistol.

Anyway, picture heavy, so hope you enjoy. And thanks for looking.
Rick.
