Oh, I remember your amazing piece, Rick!! Remember me in your will someday!
 These are amazing guns that transcend the 'rougher' examples sometimes produced in the Mediterranean for the N. African markets.

I appreciate your offer Mark.
This gun was collected by one of my ancestors, Harrison W. Smith (Uncle Harry) who has a botanical garden named for him in Tahiti. He got around quite a bit; also wrote an article or two for the early issues of National Geographic; one on the Philippines iirc. Hopefully one of my grandsons will take an interest in it along with some of my edged weapons. |

Can't add much information that's already been posted here. But a great looking pair of pistols. The locks, while decorated, are typical of the Balkan pistol locks found on these guns.
