[Norman McCormick]

Hi,
Similar markings on a Balkan pistol of mine, possibly French manufacture for the Balkan market with locally applied marks probably done by an illiterate craftsman.
Regards,
Norman.

Hello, that pistol or kubura is not made in france but in Peć city in kosovo, it is balkan pistol called Pećanka, il post you silver mounted version, it is comon and widespread on balkan in 19 century, “marks” or “text” is a giberish, without meaning, decoration or atempt of increasing value.
