Moser put all these guns into the section of Afghani weapons.
Taking into account that he never set foot in Afghanistan and that # 491 ( per Moser from Turkestan) is a classical example from Sindh, his attributions should be taken with a grain of salt.
Most importantly, Rickystl attested to the fact that he had never encountered Afghani gun with rattan binding; thus, his hint at the South Indian origin of the Corrado’s example acquires additional weight.
