Re: Double Rifle Makers of today and yesteryear

During the heyday of hunting the maximum number of double rifles was in India, Two famous British manufacurers who were based in Calcutta were 1. Mantons and 2. R B Roddha. In some cases they supplied doubles built on order in Birmingham or London and carrying their stamp, in other cases the doubles were often assembled and built with quality barrels from Germany. Both these firms folded on Indian independence. Weapons built by the Calcutta manufacturers were at par if not superior to those built by their London or Birmingham counterparts, they are collectors items today
