Hello}
From what I know of the chiseled (chissel and hamer) the work on the forniture seems to me to be cast. The chisel cuts are neater, and here they are rounded and blurred IMHO it is a tourist piece. It would be necessary to know what material they are, also the lock and the barrel Affectionately |

Hi
Don't worry, of course they are old and if you don't want them, call me! I cracked the origin of this kind of pistol a few years ago, They are Albanian for the North African market please see http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ght=montenegro Ulcinj was a town to the South of Montenegro and an Albanian centre of pistols production. The town had trade links with Egypt and Tunisia. Albanesi traders and merceneries worked notably with egypt, Tunisa and Algeria Post 13 |

Excellent pistols indeed! These types might have seen service with the Corsairs as well!

It's nice to see some brethren to my example.
I would not be surprised at all Mark if some of these wound up in the hands of Barbary Corsairs. This is the first pair that I've seen posted here since 2015; I'd guess that they're fairly uncommon. |

Oh, I remember your amazing piece, Rick!! Remember me in your will someday! These are amazing guns that transcend the 'rougher' examples sometimes produced in the Mediterranean for the N. African markets.
