That's what I wrote in my post. I never said that it was made in England! Yes, it was made in India, not in England and maybe not under british superversion

As Corrado says, made in India, following a rough pattern but not made To any real specifications.

I think many Princly States wanted their own arms of the more up to date style, so had them made locally.
I too have one, a very strongly built version. Heavy and thick, but with a bore apparently never finished inside!
Mine also has the breech-plug forged in place, as we see on earlier Indian arms. The lock is also Indian, but very good.

Happy New Year to all!
