Interesting flintlock pistol.

Hi,
I confirm Coral was used for swords, daggers and guns in all Ottoman empire.
This gun is Algerian, the silverwork on the stock is typical from this area.
The coral on the lock is very unusual... very strange...
About the ramrod, i can see what Rick says, there is a missing piece of silver.
Normaly Algerian guns have a functional ramrods, Balkans usually don't (but it's not a rule)...
On your photo it seems that is a movable & functional ramrod, is it?
best,
Kubur
