I cannot say what the horse stamp is exactly, though they are mentioned in "Weapons of the People of the Caucasus" by Astvatsaturyan, but it is written that the source is unknown. It is a nice example of a Circassian pistol, what the Georgians call "Dambacha". According to the same book, the leather is Donkey, and this is a very specific thing for Circassian arms.
