This is a turkish shishane tufenk, with beatifully decorated stock. What makes this interesting though, is that instead of teh usuall miquellet mechanism, it has a capslock one, that looks as a local manufacture. HAve you seen any other examples like that? Also the barel, althoygh not the usual type, looks "oriental made" with these inlays. I was wondering if this is an old musket that was converted to capslock, or it was made from the begining with this type of lock and barel.
