Bei dem Empfänger der Waffe handelt es sich vermutlich um den osmanischen Staatsmann und Diplomaten Mustafa Resid Pascha (1800-58), der zunächst als Diplomat in verschiedenen europäischen Ländern tätig war. 1845 wurde er Minister des Auswärtigen Amtes und ab 1846 Großwesir. 1853 wurde er erneut zum Außenminister ernannt.

Octagonal barrel with original bluing, eight-groove rifled bore in 12 mm calibre. Fine, decorative tendrils inlaid in gold and silver trailing over the entire length of the barrel. Inscribed "Sarif. Muztapha. Pascha" in gold at the breech. Finely engraved tang with adjustable rear sight. The lock with folding nipple protector, tendrils delicately etched all over the surface. Signed "Störmer Göttingen" in an oval cartouche. Adjustable set trigger. The full stock in walnut with a dark horn nose and finely chequered butt. Silver thumb plate with an Arabic inscription.

Records show L. Störmer in Göttingen circa 1856, listed as "Hofrüstmeister" (court gun maker). In all likelihood, the recipient of the firearm is the Ottoman statesman and diplomat Mustafa Resid Pasha (1800-58), who initially served as a diplomat in various European countries. In 1845, he became minister of the Foreign Office and, from 1846, grand vizier. In 1853, he was re-appointed foreign minister.
