Only a tiny part of the trigger guard is present.
It will be very difficult to find a Greek trigger guard and I don't want to put something else. So I think that i will remove the small bit, as far I know a lot of Ottoman and Greek pistols had no trigger guards...

Hi Kubur.

Yes, I see what you mean. The lock appears to have heavy corrosion. You could still clean up the lock and barrel. Maybe a long soaking in some penetrating fluid, etc. Yes, removing the stub of the trigger guard would display better. Agreed, would look better with no guard in this instance.

Rick.

Hi Rajesh,

I'll be annoying with you as I was with Rick.
But I don't think that your pistol is Greek.
It's a Mediterranean pistol for the Eastern market (basically from North Africa to Turkey).
If I was you, I'll remove this modern screw and put a bit wooden paste in the crack. Very nice barrel.

Best wishes,
Kubur

Wonderful pistols indeed!
Two similar has Vasilatos in his book. He even attaches the upper in Albanian and the lower in Greek workshop.
