Hello.
First of all, thank you for posting these photos. I saved three of them for my library.
If you will refer to your 2nd, 10th, and 17th photo you will notice a long gun/musket with a fish tail type butt stock. This gun is generally known as an Albanian Tanchika long gun. These guns were produced during the 18th and early 19th Century. Albania was an arms producing center in the Balkans primarily during this period.
Here is a photo of that gun. I have additional photos if you desire. Rick.

Hello again.
Here is a silver celina or ledenica pistol that was probably made for the Montenegrin market during the late 18th or early 19th Century.
If you refer to your 1st, 2nd, 9th, and especially 10th photos above you will see the similarities to this pistol. Again, hope this helps. Rick.

Hello again! I don't have any blades (cold arms) that would fit the pictures you posted. But I know others on this Forum do. Hopefully they will respond to you. Thanks, Rick.

There are some unusual clipped-point swords shown in some of these engravings .

rickystl, if you know any weapon that was used by Montenegrin soldiers in the 19th century, let me know, please.
