Jim,

those are definitely Ottoman Turk numerals. It wasn't too long after Ataturk took over that they went over to "roman" alphabet and numbers. And banned the wearing of the fez or the veil.

So that period from 1918 to 1922 or 23 things were in flux, and there were a lot of loose weapons looking for a home.

That is the nicest looking Turk I've ever seen - it looks as nice as those persian Mausers you used to see. You stole that rifle!
