Това е последната ми реставрация на габровско шишане in Bulgarian translates to 'This is my latest restoration of a Gabrovo shishane' ... I think.

Wow, wow and WOW! Can't wait for RickyStL to see this one!

The shishanes had rifled bores, correct?

The few I've owned have had rifled bores & barrels have been swamped.

You did a very professional restoration.....very hard, intense workmanship. You have a right to be proud and show it off for all to appreciate and enjoy! Sure would enjoy being enlightened about the history of Shishane firearms !

Hi Bobi

OMG !!!! What a beautiful job on restoration. I'm speechless. Wish You lived near me. LOL On second thought, it's probably good you don't. I would likely drive you crazy with questions, and you would get most of my left over money for restoration work. LOL

Congratulations. An outstanding job.

Hi Bill

Yes, the shoulder guns with rifled barrels are generally referred to as a Shishane. The same guns with a smooth bore are often referred to as a Tufuk. But both terms seem to be interchangeable depending on where you are standing in the World at the moment. Interesting that of all of the remaining specimens I've seen, the rifled versus smooth bore runs about 50/50.

Excellent work as usual, Bobi! Was very lucky to have experienced it in person, need to write a book (with an English addition) the wealth of knowledge needs to be passed on!
