Hello everybody!
I am new on this forum,my name is Martin Merks from the Netherlands.
I have been a collector for almost 18 years now.
I collect russian and islamic swords/weapons.

Hereby I want to share with you this very nice and very long (180 cm)
Moukhala rifle.
I believe all parts of this rifle were completly made in Marrocco including the flintlock.
The butt is made of a big piece of Ivory,and the stock is inlayed with small blood corals.
Seems to me it was made for somekind of chief or other high tribesman.
However I was wondering from what area it comes from and if some of you can tell memore about it.

Great forum this is!!
