Stelio, Sylektis,

You are killing me!
I feel ashamed with my broken pistol!!
Guys, there is another kind that I dream to have, the Souliot one from Epirus.
I post one photo from Google for the other members who don't know what I mean...

Kind regards,
Kubur

Pistols for Souliotes, made by Greek or Albanian silversmiths.

Thanks for your kind words Stelios.
I have one question for Sylektis, what is the function of the small ring on your gorgeous pistol?

Best,
Kubur

I notice the ring is positioned to the rear of the grip area. I can easily picture a carrying strap attached to the ring and suspended around the shoulder having the pistol hanging along side just below the waistline for ready access.

Hi again!
The pistol of corrado26 and the first pistol of sylekti are similar to my own , i think they are manufactured in the same silversmith.
