The leather ones on the Caucasian pistols I've seen appear to be made of boiled leather to make it somewhat stiff. But it was probably effective.

Forget what I said about the feature, I was reading Elgood this morning and they all have this feature (for the type that you presented). Elgood dates them from 1830ties, I guess it's a rough dating.

Here a Cassaignard blade, they were extremely popular in Morocco for the nimcha. Note the symbols: the moon, the sun, the armed arm in the clouds/wind.

Sorry to resurrect another dead thread, but to answer the question of what your pistols provenance is, according to the Historical Museum of Serbia, this pistol is referred to as a Skadarka and made in modern day Shkoder, Albania
