Arab? Musket

[Snowman]

Hi!

Thank You...interesting answers.

Tim is right-this silver band is later work.

Pipe barrel seems to be damask-work.

But owerall this gun seems to be not so common?

That stamp on pipe-is it "gunsmith" mark or what?

And age of this muscet...any idea?

regards Markku

Look above I already answered to your questions
The barrel is probably older than the gun, 17 or 18th.
Look at the barrels of the abu fatila, the Omani matchlocks
The gun is probably from the 19th c.
