John,
The Howdah pistol appears to be a percussion muzzleloader.
Then I see a long-barrelled over-under shotgun, a side-by-side shotgun, a single-barrel shotgun (probably pump action) and a rifle, probably military, probably large caliber, with a military sling. It would be interesting to know if these come from the maharadja's arsenal or are later additions.

I had similar thoughts on the arms included. I think it is a "mockup". I read elsewhere that no original photos of the car in action have turned up.

Several Napalese crank operated guns were recently imported to the US. I'm guessing this one was married to the "kit". Here is one you can own...

Not even class III

Anyone own any of Maharaja of Kotah's guns???

Well, I asked the question, now I have an answer....I do and did not even know it. A Evans Ball & Shot ordered by this Maharaja.
