Have 3 BP firearms I'd like to get identified and valued, will appreciate any help I can get
First is a Miroku .45 cal, has marks of SAR on but end of lock, Crown with 45 below it, and opposite side of barrel is marked Japan 1894.
Second is a pair of pistols, non matching, they appear to be hand made, are very crude, with what looks like sand casting brass (or some close alloy), no screws, (look like hand bradded pins) and a unique double holster for the pair.
the story on the two hand mades is that they are Turkish or Egyptian and were made for an Emir for presentation to someone.
The system won't let me upload more than 4 pictures, but, if it will help, I have more I can send by email.
Thanks for any help

The Miroku is more probably from 1984 as they are a relatively modern maker of b/p guns, that have been imported by Dixie Gun Works since the 60's. They vary widely in quality, their rifles fetch a relatively high price on auctions.

4 photos can be uploaded per post. Simply upload more photos in additional posts or threads if you'd like to show us more. Posting more photos could help to identify them. :)
