Hi,
Anybody care to have a stab at the script, it looks to be numbers but I just can't make 'head nor tail' of it. Regards, Norman. |

Hi Dom,
Many thanks for taking the time to have a look. I assumed Arabic because of the origin of the piece so I will keep looking. Thanks again. My Regards, Norman. P.S. An English translation of the site you kindly pointed me towards is available on the menu on the left of the page so it will be a great starting point. |

Hi Norman,
My 2c worth.....the second match holder is most probably to hold a spare match cord. I am assuming that it does not move? Are you sure that there was a fore sight? From the pic it looks as if the "notch" in the bell of the muzzle is raised sufficiently to be seen thru the peep sight. Regards Stu |
