An early ottoman pistol ?

Hi .
1. The ramrod doesn't go all the way through but it is a detachable rod ; not just carved in the stock
2. Its nailed
3 . Attached. Note what was a rather well executed pierced side plate ; the front section of this is a working life repair.
4. It's the usual tatty bent tin which is old but not I assume original . Forend is mostly present so the original barrel band must have been similar.
Thanks for your interest.
