Caucasian / Circassian percussion rifle?

Hi Estcrh.

What a nice find !!! Congratulations !!!! And I fully agree with Oliver's assessments above. I have found that Persian made -complete long guns - are even more difficult to locate than their Caucassion counterparts. Which is probably the reason for the difficulty in locating other Persian specimens.
Also, the gun should be a fairly simple restoration, should you decide to do so.
Again, really nice find.

Here is a pic of both a Caucasion and Persian long guns for comparison.
