Don't know where it's from, but I love the barrel. A lot of attention to detail. Imagine, what it looked like when it was made.

Salaams All ~This one looks very much like an Omani Abu Futtila...(The one with the match) It is interesting how the National Museum people view this and I note the people who did all the Gun and Cannon research consider European involvement probably German in the manufacture...

I agree with Ibrahiim - Omani - beautiful gun, but the typical padded butt is missing - you often find these covered in deer skin as a hunting trophy for the owner.

Hi, BANDOOK!

Good Matchlock gun! My friend from England told me that these guns are sometimes found in Afghanistan.

Salaams Bandook, I cant possibly make a comment as it would be conspired against as commercial ... but I can advise on where you may get one if you PM me ...
