Caucasian Miquelet "Cossack" Pistol & Locks

[Rudyard]

Thats unfortunate but not surprising

Dear Tobjohn ,Well if you order a smooth bore gun you can get a rifled barrel same dimensions and add it once it reaches the US or our Mr Hoyt can rifle it to suit you ..might I suggest .

Very true. I’m still mulling over my future muzzleloader purchases, anyway

A nice Khirimi and Dambacha that truly looks like a baby's gun

Khirimi still in use along side M1870 Berdan №2, a breechloading revolver and an autoloading pistol

A couple Dambacha pistols, one is marked, showing it was made in Tbilisi in 1853

These two were photographed in an old museum catalog that also shows the Harbi/Suma/Duma ramrods that were used with them (seemingly identical to the Ottoman style) as well as powder flasks (similar to the Persian and Indian[?])

Tbilisi or Tiflis?

Is the guy lying down a captured criminal or are they just fooling around?!?

Tbilisi or Tiflis?

As you know, same place, but it was marked Tifilis, the name used before the 1930's

Is the guy lying down a captured criminal or are they just fooling around?!?

I have no context for the picture, so it's hard to tell
