I think this one has a Moghul barrel, isn't it?
Is it what they call a wall gun?

Very nice. I assume it is yours? I would think Sindi in origin, and used as a "wall gun".

ANOTHER PICTURE OF A SINDHI GUN

[spiral]

Looks good at a distance!

But clearly all of the brass work & wood work is brand new....

Look at all those fresh cut sharp fresh cut brass & timber edges, unlike the worn old barrel & lock...

Was it sold as original? or antique? Hope it was very cheap?

The stock inlay shows the flag of Pakistan! Ottoman I think not.....As its only just been made.

Salaams Bandook, I think what you have consists possibly an old barrel...The rest looks added...especially in the brass plate region and likely the entire woodwork. Difficult to say on the lock...trigger etc but the gun looks "played with"..Since the decoration is late on a replaced butt it throws the idea of it being Turkish.. Nice Barrel though...Did you strip the lock/trigger off and look under there....
