It is most likely ivory that has been dyed green.

Looks like a Balkan Džeferdar, could be former Yugoslavia.
The green colour is indeed a form of dyeing of bone, wood, ivory also often applied to bichaqs see also: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=28416 Last edited by gp; 15th November 2023 at 06:14 PM. |

The Ottomans must have used thousands of matchlocks during the period. But generally speaking, there are very few examples remaining today....
Probably upgraded to later style locks. as was common throughout the world. Match to wheel, wheel to miquelet, to percussion... and in Japan, matchlock to bolt action! |
