Ottoman flintlock

[Norman McCormick]

Hi,
My only example of a suma is a utilitarian Ottoman military combination of rod and powder flask early 19thC. Pictured is also an illustration of same from the book Description of Egypt.
Regards,
Norman.


P.S. A very fine pair of pistols you had.

Thanks Norman, and thanks for the photo, Sumas could become the focus of a whole new genre of collecting.
