Hello, friend.
Thank you for your help.
Just tell me please which image is concerned....
Yes, it's certainly the name of the craftman.

As for the type of characters used for this inscription, how do feel it. I mean are they actual or old style? Maghrebi, farisi, ....

Thanks again

Not the craftman's name BUT the owner's name.

Hi, I was refering to image 2. Hard to say if it is authentic though; judging from the picture.

Ok for the 2nd image.
Coming from an algerian Mukhala type Kabyle.

Barrel is italian 1668.
Stock is later and fine silver encasing with corals is dated 1290 H, or 1873.

Is that possible for you to translate the other inscriptions?
Would be great.

Thanks again for your help.
