Hi Galvano
It appears you indeed have a very nice example of one of the few "Ottoman" matchlocks. Congratulations. Would be well worth cleaning the loose, red rust from the iron parts. You can...

Hi David
I have always thought these tiny flasks were a real curiosity. They seem too small even for a priming flask. Although they are functional and will hold about a half-dozen or so pan...

Hi Cyten
Agree with Corrado. Appears to be a Dzeferder with a Ottoman/Turkish lock. And possibly a Turkish barrel.
The more decorated example posted by Corrado has one of the more common...

Hi Drabant
It's good you check the barrels on these old muskets. Once in a great while one turns up to still have a load in the barrel.
You want to locate a metal or wood rod about 6 inches...

Hi Fernando
Yes, the chain came with the measure. (Wish I could find a source for chain like this).
The modern day versions of these measures are marked 20, 30, 40, etc. up to 120. With...

Hi Corado
I tend to agree with the other two responses. A big give-away that it was made for decoration only is that there are no side lock screws. Just two flat-head wood screws mounting the...

Thanks for the information as to the Persian government connection to these pistols. Belgium must have made thousands of this style pistol and shipped them - well everywhere. There...
