Turkish or Caucasian pistol?

Generically, I would say it was produced at one of the Balkan gun shops. Possibly Syrian (?) But my guess it was made for an Ottoman customer. A tough call on this one.

Hi Rick,

Thank you for your comment.
To me this gun is very close to Caucasian pistols but this pistol is Turkish like the ball butt pistols.

You mentionned the Balkans but do you have Elgood's book on Greek arms?
They didn't do these kind of guns in the Balkans...
So Turkish is the best option IMHO
