Hi Bouldersmith,

I've examined one particular Rodda bore rifle for some time now. You can find the story here.

In spite of huge amount of work, I have not been able to track the actual maker of the rifle. Alex Henry is one of my more recent quesses, though. Therefore, I'm very interested in how you could tell that your rifle is a Henry.

A while back I learned that A. Henry ledgers are possessed by Dickson & McNaughton in Edinburgh. I e-mailed them twice a couple of months back, but never received any response.

I've met and discussed with the person, to whom Mehul is referring to as a descendant of the owners of R.B. Rodda & Co. When we last spoke about this with this person, he was once again planning to contact Rodda representatives in Kolkata. As Mehul said, those guys in India have not been too cooperative so far. So, as far as I know, the Rodda records are still around, but currently out of reach.

Regards,
Saku
