Indo-Arab Matchlock ?

Hi Norman. Nice piece. I agree with others about the Inventory Tag. At least that would be my first guess. The barrel, Hmmmm. Maybe twisted steel? Maybe Damascus? The stock appears more Persian influenced in one respect, but somewhat Turkish in another? A nice piece to study and discuss. Yes those of us who collect (and in my case shoot) these guns are considered some what of odd balls in the shooting fraternaty.
