To "judge" the double in an 100% correct way, I need better pictures, included the stamps.
Heym build severall doubles (boxlock and sidelocks) for India in ca. 1915 - 1940.
There are some, I have some in my archive.
And:
Please make sure, that you use only the correct amo for that rifle.
.375 HH vs. the flanged Version is not the same.
Maybe you can fire them both, maybe it "works" one or two times, but it can be very dangerous.
Please dont do it.
Thanks F.
I wrote similar. The owner thought it was amusing.
I find it interesting one can even get both types of cartridge to fire in the same chamber? As the msays he did get some "hangfires" ...
This gentlemen does seem to have some nice firearms. I hope proper ammo is used in them all.
I will ask to see if he can supply more detailed photos. It might be good identify just what the rifle is chambered for, so he can maybe use the right ammo! Hopefully magnum belted cartridges as they would be easier for him to source as loaded ammo. And what I think he is now using.
