It seems more like a Berber gun from Algeria.


Beware! A lot of thoose are modern made. Virtually impossible to tell if it is a modern work or just a slumpish peasant gun from 1850.... Check if there is a hole drilled in the barrel in the point where the lock is positioned. It is a good sign. I saw a lot of repros and the first imression of yours seems to be original.

Here is mine, Altit form of Moroccan Mukhala, 157cm overall. Silver and ebony, around 1930.
