Default Balkan Miquelet-Lock Rifle (Arnautka)?

Hi Guys

Not sure if this is classed as a European weapon or Asian, so I thought I would try here first. I am not as experienced with firearms as I am with swords and was hoping someone could help me describe this weapon for my records. In particular there is a name on the barrel but I am not sure what languge it is in as the charaters look cyrilic to me. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

The rifle is all steel which I thought might be unusal.

Cheer Cathey

Hi Cathey.

Most Balkan items are found here in the Ethnographic Forum, so you are in the right place.
