I don’t think that when shooting from a howdah one was too concerned with how shiny their kit was.
I mean, if riding elephant back doesn’t give you away, what else could!

My Manton Farq is also nickel plated but duller than this Bland.

Superb rifle!

Have to certainly agree with you there Huvius, one would not be concerned about how shiny one's rifle is when riding on a howdah - might attract a big kitty instead!
One thing this rifle is not & that is 'Bland'!
Pun intended
