Found this image from The National Museum of Yemen, Sana'a which might interest. Note the guns in the display case in the background...

Interesting that all the long guns shown on display appear to have the butt "extension" which perhaps suggests that the feature COULD be typical only to that region. Certainly the Omani matchlock does not have the butt extension (see pic), and to my knowledge it is the only other type of matchlock peculiar to the Arabian Peninsula. Stu |

Here two photos of Ottoman matchlocks in Istanbul.
The link is very clear to me...

A question re the guns shown in the pic posted by KUBUR....... the 2 on the right certainly look to be Turkish as described by the museum item labels, as the butt shape looks typically from that region, however the one on the left is typical of the subject gun of this thread.........mislabeled???
