I think it looks OK.
I assume it does have a hole from the lock pan to the main charge?
My first thoughts were Turkish, then I thought possibly Afghan.

That was my thoughts exactly. The stock carvings look Turkish. The pearl inlays make me think Afghan. The brass mounts could be either. Hmmmm.

Well, I disassembled the gun. I found a couple small marks on the bottom of the barrel. Have no idea what they mean? The barrel does have the vent hole drilled through. And a breechplug. I can tell by the interior view of the lock that the gun has been fired. Anyway, thanks for looking. Rick.
