Hello and excuse me for being brand new here and not sure where to start.....I have two nice pistols with inlays but I was told by the gentleman who sold them to me that only thing not original is the strip of metal that holds the flint tightly in place. He said the replacements would be fine for display but not tight enough for operation. Not sure if I can get parts easily and affordably or I should just get rid of them.

Can anyone direct me to a dealer in parts for these erly Ottoman kubar pistols? and are these considered valuable to collectors?

kind regards

ps. couldn'y figure out how to upload here

  Don't get your hopes up. Lot of the flintlocks we have seen over the years are/were made for the tourist trade. Because of this many of these North African rather then Turkish made guns aren't big buck items. Obviously we would need quality close up photos for accurate identification and valuation, though.
