Both of these pistols display extensive ornamentation in higher quality than is often found on Middle Eastern flintlock pistols. They have relief floral and dot patterns on their muzzle bands, false ramrods as is common on Ottoman pistols, silver inlaid martial motifs on the barrels including what appears to be Arabic calligraphy, scroll and martial themed raised relief carving on the stock, engraving on the furniture, silver inlay on the locks, silver wire designs on the wrists, and silver pommel caps. There are no identifying markings, but the pistols were likely originally built in Continental Europe and then altered to fit the owner's tastes in the Ottoman Empire. This high level of decoration would have helped portray their owner as an influential figure.
