Hi Kubur !!
Well, if you do pick up a Dzeferdar, please post photos. There are only two long guns missing for my collection. A Dzeferdar and a Boyliya. Both usually on the expesive side to purchase. A Boyliya will occasionally come up for sale, but it seems the Dzeferdars seldom do. But I'll keep looking. Ibrahiim: Thanks so much for posting that Link with the brief descriptons of the long guns regional manufacture and map. Very handy information. Never seen this before. I saved the Link to my library. Thanks again. Teodor: Really nice Dzeferdar !! Yes, I agree with you about the barrel. Rick. |

Hi Kubur ! How have you been ? WOW!! That is a nice Dzeferdar. I really like all the fine brass work. Some observations I notice: Appears to be a full length, tapered octagon barrel, except for the neat monster head at the muzzle. Very cool !! Typical Balkan style lock. And the mechanical style barrel bands you often see on Tanchika long guns. That gun would clean up very nicely. But not really necessary. I really like it. Very nice addition to your collection. It seems they seldom are offered for sale. Great looking long gun. Thanks for Posting.
Yes, I second Estcrh's request. Please post a couple more pics of the lock when you have a chance. Rick |

That is the most common style miquelet lock I see on Balkan made guns. Except for the size for long gun or pistol, the locks all seem to be designed almost identical. Notice the pic you posted above, showing the different style of long guns, but all/most using the same style Balkan lock. I have an Albanian pistol I shoot using the same lock. I found it well designed, strong, and very reliable. It would seem the owners of these guns back in the Period had the same results. Because you see them on so many guns. Here is the same lock from my collection. It is in unused condition. I'll bet the lock on Kubur's gun looks almost identical. Interesting such a wide usage of the same lock. Rick. |
