Number stamping on guns from India
      #262221 - 14/03/15 12:05 PM

I have seen a number of guns that have come out of India that had numbers stamped in the stocks.
I know that some of the guns that belonged to the Nizam Of Hyderabad had EXP and then some numbers
stamped in their stocks. One gun I looked at recently had a 14 0ver 323 stamped on the bottom of the stock. I have seen others that had a 4, a 10, or 12 stamped in the stocks with other numbers below.
I was told long ago that the top numbers were the location in India that the gun came from and the bottom 3 or 4 digits were the stock number of the gun. I would like to know if the top number
(2 digits)on the guns did indeed indicate a location in India. Was the location a region, state,
district, or indicate a specific maharajah?
Thanks for your help.
