Ottoman Bichaq help

Dear Martin,

I agree with the blades for knifes and swords.
It is also the case with the locks and barrels for pistols and long guns.
But I think that the grips for swords and daggers or the wooden stocks for guns are locals. Unlike the decorations or the scabbards as you said.

For North Africa, a good book for all:
Gold and Coral. Presentation arms from Algiers and Tunis

Best,
Kubur

Thanks to Kubur for mentioning this book, there is not enough discussion of the weapons from Algeria and surrounding regions.
