Dear TTV & Fernando
Please have a look in my new photos from the stock and the lock. The work from the lock is definitively not from a French lock maker you could see the diffence of quality between one french made and this one. For the stock all those holes are typical from Oriental gun. So I guess that this gun was not imported but made out of Europe. I had already ask to many people bur still nobody could tell me more about this gun. Regards Jean-Luc |

Cerjak,
Sorry I cannot help you more. Attached is a photo of a page from a Turkish book on firearms, which shows a European style musket with supposedly an Ottoman lock. Not the same as yours, but there are some similarities. Unfortunately, I do not understand any Turkish and so I really do not know what the description says. Also, keep in mind that Turkish museum workers have a tendencay tod escribe everything as Ottoman, from Arab tribal matchlocks to Winchesters used in the Russo-Turkish war of 1877-78. Regards, Teodor |
