Default ALBANIAN LONG GUN

Hello all. Can't believe another week has gone by already.
Here is a typical Albanian "Tanchika" long gun from my collection. Albania was one of the arms producing centers in the Balkans. All iron and brass construction as many were. The iron portions of the stock are all engraved. Lock in perfect working order. This paticular example has somewhat less downward curve than most I've seen. The gun is all complete and in almost perfect "attic" condition. Has an even patina over the entire surface. So this gun will clean up very nice. It looks like it has the spurious "Comminazo" mark on the barrel. But there is a thin layer of old dust over everything.
The clean up is on my "to do" list. So I'll re-post after the job. Should make a good before and after. Picture heavy, so hope you enjoy. And thanks for looking. Rick.
