Very sorry!

I believe it is a torador barrel, but re-worked at some time.
In England, oriental/Indian /Persian, barrels were quite popular at one time, re-breeched and fine bored if needs be, for use on good quality sporting guns, (18th century.)
I see no reason why other parts of the world could not have had a similar fad, so even if it came from Russia, this does not mean it cannot be from India originally.

All the best,
Richard.
