Hi Fernando,
Thanks for your input. The only rifles I tend to shoot these days are made by Messrs Anschutz and Co. and as much as I would love to give this one a try my sensible side, plus the wife, says absolutely not. The initialled and numbered disc is a bit of a mystery, I'm hoping some of the Forumites might have some ideas. I've been in touch with Ward and he reckons barrel is Hyderabad 18thC maybe early and the present stock/barrel combination dates from last quarter 19thC. Thanks again for your comments.
My Regards,
Norman.
