Do you have a Dzeferdar rifle?

Best,

Here is a close-up of the Balkan made Boyliya style lock, sometimes called a Bulgarian lock. This one is well used with some of it's brass overlay loose and missing. But it is still in working order and gives you a good idea.

Hi Ivo.

That's a very nice piece. I don't blame you for it being one of your favorites. I especially like the barrel and barrel bands on this one. You often see this "style" of barrel band on Albanian and Greek long guns also. And note the lock is virtually identical to the Balkan made lock I posted earlier above. Again, there seems to have been wide spread use for this specific style of miquelet lock. Nice gun.
