Not sure about that, Allah doesn't allow pictures of anything natural so decoration has to be geometric and unnatural. He might not approve of that grotesque carved under the stock  ;D

That fellow carved into the butt stock is surely of Mediterranean descent....maybe a Turk? Hooked nose, turban...... :-\

Not a clue. These don't show up that often in well preserved condition. It's worth what ever a collector will pay for it. These Mediterranean guns have a good following of collectors these days.

cool
I am hoping to learn a lot more form you all and I thank you for all the info.

I wonder how a person would list this shotgun, gun broker maybe. How would you even begin to describe it. Also wonder how you would list it to get the most out of the search to get people to look at it.
