Owned by the mom of a fallen American Warrior, and passed down from her grandfather.
this rifle has Arabic looking writing on it, and an adjustable sight for longer ranges. Any idea of make, manufacturer or interpretation of script, or proof marks? Thanks, gents.View attachment 7218628View attachment 7218628View attachment 7218628View attachment 7218627View attachment 7218624View attachment 7218611View attachment 7218606View attachment 7218606View attachment 7218611

I'm thinking it is a 1871, German Single Shot, in who knows what caliber, built under license in Turkey. An IT over in the sand box, says the first word is "Germany"
