Waoww beautiful
I think this one has a Moghul barrel, isn't it? Is it what they call a wall gun? Kubur |

Very nice. I assume it is yours? I would think Sindi in origin, and used as a "wall gun".

Looks good at a distance!
But clearly all of the brass work & wood work is brand new.... Look at all those fresh cut sharp fresh cut brass & timber edges, unlike the worn old barrel & lock... Was it sold as original? or antique? Hope it was very cheap? The stock inlay shows the flag of Pakistan! Ottoman I think not.....As its only just been made. spiral |
