Re: Alexander Henry - an inventory of surviving rifles

In Donald Dallas/RB book this serial number 783 does not match



I now have serious doubts about its provenance

My gunsmith told me the stock is rosewood, which to me is restocked in India (although a very good job, inside and out)

The only serial number is this, under the barrel, with faint proof marks

See my original thread for the makers name on barrel and lock, completely different
Whether barrel or lock (or both?) are original I have no idea



Lock



Top of barrel



Gold lines show good quality anyway


Daryl - the other barrels of the pistols are similar, rarely if ever fired with the corrosion you can see the only faults
