That must come from Mauser's glass photograph. That's not Persian. It's even rarer -- an Ottoman Empire Conehammer. The performance of this customer was far away from top in the 19th and 20th century, but this was the same empire that finished 1100-year-old Byzantine Empire in the middle of 15th century, just a few decades before Columbus found America. Long history. Not many collectors have this gun. I don't. Maybe can find one in future, maybe not affordable, maybe in too poor shape, maybe... rare item, so lots of uncertainties.
