This pistol was manufactured in Europe, likely the Balkans, in the early 19th century and has no visible maker's marks. Ottoman style Damascene floral patterns are on the lock plate, flash pan, frizzen, and breech. The lock has a waterproof style pan with gutters and a roller frizzen. The wedge fastened barrel has dense Damascus patterns and "wedding bands" at the transition from octagon to round and the muzzle. The stock has basket weave style carving on the forend and sides of the grip with carved borders, and there is floral scroll carving with textured backgrounds at the front of the forend and ahead of the trigger guard. The wedge escutcheons, trigger guard, and buttcap are a silver alloy and have raised relief floral patterns. The butt also has a horn border with carved designs. There is no ramrod channel. Many Ottoman and South Eastern European pistols did not have ramrod provisions because cavalrymen preferred to carry ramrods separate from the pistols with other reloading equipment where they were more secure.
