I think the whole gun was covered with snake skin like many Caucasian pistols were covered with black leather... Look at the little nails or the holes of missing nails... I saw some kindjals with scabbards completely covered with snake skin.

Beautiful pistol.
As a newbie to the study of black powder firearms that aren't from the US or Western Europe, I have a couple of questions. Is the use of the three bands to secure the barrel a common practice? What materials are the bands made from? What wood is the stock made from? |

Yes, the three brass and sivered bands of this pistol to fix the barrel were widely common and the stock is made of birch wood.
