Seeking input on this pistol,it along with another that is similar from a distance are in an antique shop. I didnt have a scale or caliper with but would guess it at .58/.62 cal.,smooth bore.

That would explain the  sword on each side and forward of the tg on the bottom of the other one, see!
Thanks feltwad

MacRob46:
That is a tourist gun, probably made in Turkey. They turn them out in large quantities and age them in buckets of rocks. The architecture and the rather strange decoration on the butt cap, trigger guard, etc. are characteristics of those guns.
