Love reminders from a time and place in which firearms, swords, shields, and chainmail armor were all still in use... often by the same person...Always fascinating hearing about your travels, Rudyard! Were the photos mine or had I rights to them, I'd certainly consider it. I've just been blessed with a lot more free time since I moved to Armenia and spend some of it hunting down historical photos (vintage cameras and photography are another hobby close to the heart)
Certainly looks like it and very possible. The photos were from somewhere around Sinai and here is a photo of a gun shop from Cairo in the same period

Plenty of double barreled pistols to choose from!
Compare that to this painting of an earlier time of a gun dealer in Cairo
