Hi Warbird/Jim,
Thanks for your comments. I did realize that the condition was very poor while taking the pics. I have already seen some great pieces in this forum.
As it was with my grandfather, people really didn't know about gun collection in those days. Anyways, it does hold a lot of sentimental value to us.
It does shoot well till now. Also, getting a foreign make gun is very difficult in India. Especially if it 70 years old.
Now some specific questions. What really does the British proof mark signifies? If it is a commercial pistol how did it end up in Britain? Also, any possibility of this gun seeing the action in the war.
Thanks
