Inheritance Gun #3

All I can say is my uncle was a world traveler.

I know he had this in his possession for 30 plus years.

I have no idea where it came from.

You can see some markings on the wood stock.

Anyone have any ideas ???

Any kind of value???

Gun is 69 inch long !

Thanks all. Cool to find anything out.

A friend has one alot like it dug out of the sand his has alot of inlay of ivory and gold flakes in the stock looks very cool. The sand pereserved it well for him. Im sure yours is from this era.

The button trigger makes me think it might be a gun from the Caucasus. There could some markings on the lock plate. This looks different in style from the gun itself. Therefore it could have been cobbled together by a gunsmith in Circassia or some such place.

Anyway a wild guess.
