Hi guys,

clearly, the Tufenk is the father of a lot of firearms from Maghrib (Algeria) to Middle East (India, Afghanistan) and Central asia (Uzbekistan, ...).
Norman have a sort of arabic Abou-Fitila (the upper) and maybe an indian torador (the lower) as may be yours.
They are tribes guns with usually indian made barrel.
See my 2 guns: one is arabic Abou-Fitila and the second, very near is Indo-arab (Malabar coast).
