Hello Dooly. Welcome to the Forum from a collector (and shooter) of antique Middle Eastern firearms. Sorry to hear about the stock. But it sounds like it was worth the purchase just to aquire the metal parts. Should be an interesting project. At first glance, looks Ottoman. But there are others on this forum that are knowledgable about the writings. As another said, most Ottoman pistols were made with what we call a "false" ramrod. Or no ramrod. They were usually loaded with a seperate metal rod called a Suma. I've never really understood why they would bother with a false ramrod? Anyway, welcome to the Forum!! Rick.
