I can't translate the writing, but the gun looks Albanian to me.

This is probably not a foreign language, but possibly cabalistic or enigmatic symbols in the form of letters.

European arms were regarded superior than localy made in the balkans. So local smiths when they made a lock or a barrel, put latin letters in it so that it looks like coming from a european factory. It didnt matter that the letters made no sense, their cliends could not read either!
