RHB, i checked your serial number against the griffin & howe archives and the number did not come up ,like i stated in my earlier post you being in india there is a good chance the gun was imported by J.MANTON OF CALCUTTA the only thing is he usually marks it on top the barrel.

DON: if your really interested in a 30.06 type A ,i know were there is one just as good if not better than this one for just under 6k P.M. me ....paul
