Hello John,
A truely nice pair of guns.  I have searched thru several books I have on the subject, and can find nothing like the stock shape of these. Are there any marks on the barrels anywhere? Might give a pointer to the origin.Regards Stuart |

The style of the barrel bands and the extensive use of bone makes me think this was North African work.
Regards, Teodor |

I agree with TVV, looking more like North African work.
What an amazing pair - never seen anything like these before - beautiful!

Oh I agree with you Khanjar1. At first I would have thought Moroccan, but the stock style doesn't typically fit.......

Unfortunately the "marks" are not clear enough to identify, but that slot is a dovetail for an iron sight of some sort. The hole??? could be a crude way to deactivate the barrel
  . IF you have any ideas of firing these, get that hole checked out first!!Stuart |

don't mention anything like these. And like I said the stocks puzzele me. To answer your question about the marks, I could not find one. And the locks I can't take them or the barrels out. The only markings on the barrels, I took some pictures of them, and will post them. Greetz, John. |
