Many thanks to Ariel for the fact that he once again repeated everything that had already been said before. Always need someone who will sum up.

Thanks again! To be frank, I understood the topic a little earlier. This can be seen from the third message in this thread. But I hope helped you to learn new things.

I think you missed the point in that message : preponderance of evidence is in favor of South Indian origin, but not ,- as you suggested,- Afghani and most certainly not Sindhi. Moser's example #491 is from Sindh although he called it Afghani.

Where Corrado's gun " could have been used" is irrelevant: our family drives Toyotas, and Suzuki. All were bought in the US, but they are not American cars: they are Japanese. Elephant in a Moscow Zoo is still Indian. Weapons traveled along and across the entire Indian subcontinent without hindrance. Hope it makes the point clear, does it?
