			Thank you Dom, sounds nice to have the authority of the 'Imprimatur" on Turkish albeit I am far away from it. Libra, my guess is there several dots missing underneath in the script, so it should be "Nizibli" ( a district in todays Ayntab) Osman Pasha.

			That is a really beautiful piece, but of course it is not a "rifle".  Better perhaps to call it a musket.
