Hi Wolfgang, I lean towards Persian. While I don't have any first hand experience with Persian rigs, I do know that the folded over ears on the lid of the cleaning rod pouch, are a distinctive feature. As you probably know, the German makers used separate discs that were sewn on. Also, Persian rigs used local leather and the quality of workmanship did not equal that of German craftsmen. Can we see close up photos of the markings and numbers, if any, on the stock? Regards, Norm
