Salaams all... I dont recall seeing a mark like the apparent birds feet on any rifle... or until now sword... please see http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...tioners+swords

Are we looking at a firing squad rifle here? Is this a talismanic style perhaps indicating a trigger guard protected by two sets of triple marks ... 3 was a talismanic way to protect against the devil .. It is seen on Islamic prayer beads ... three beads at the end preventing the devil from climbing up.

Regards,
Ibrahiim al Balooshi.
