Ceremonial Turkish Flintlock Musket,Made sometime in the mid 19th, this is incredible flintlock ceremonial Turkish musket made for Ottoman rular Sultan Mahmud I. It is covered with engravings, gold and silver inlays, and various precious gems, but that’s not the most incredible thing! The butt of the stock opens to reveal a compartment with a dagger, penknife, pen case, pen and penholder, gun cleaning kit, and spoon set, each equally covered in gold, silver, and jewels.Currently the musket is on display at the Walters Art Museum in Maryland. -- source link
