BARUNG BATTLE DAMAGED

Do we know when was this barung taken as a trophy? Smith-Wesson 0.45 was issued in 1911, but private purchase was sufficiently popular well before that.

No matter what, even if we are talking about the earliest 3-4 years of shooting war, using standard government issue 0.45-70 Gov’t Springfield "Trapdoor" rifle, this damaged barung is interesting not as a weapon per se, but as a part of history.

Don't fix it.
