This piece is 66" long ... very dificult to take pictures of the entire thing.
Thanks to Nidhin, the Indi inscription is already deciphered http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=5948 ... apart from the meaning of the atribution of Seedhee ( straight ), which i would love to know about. The "1601" stamp should be the inventory number with which the British used to controll the Maharajas private weaponry stocks. So far i have learnt that these "toradors" with the curved stock and the reinforced breech barrel are not so frequently found as the others. The seller said it was 18th century ... i don't know, maybe 1800 ? Anybody care for some coments on this specimen ? ... Ward ? ... Whoelse ? Thanks Fernando |
