Hello Kuduae,

With each new purchase comes the desire to find out as much information as possible about its history. I too was surprised to learn that the "Vampire" looking deer engraved on the back of the lever, was not a slip of the engraver's chisel. There was a deer with horns engraved on the bottom of the receiver, a Tiger on the trigger-guard, but what the heck' was that on the lever? I actually asked the seller if the "Saber-Tooth" Deer was a joke, or just some strange scratches that made the deer look like it had "Fangs".

He said "no joke", these are real deer found in India, and directed me to this link.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muntjac.

After about an hour of searching other links on the NET, I put together these pictures, having learned something new that eluded me for 62 years.

Hello Ron Vella,

Perhaps the original owner of this rifle in India, didn't want to get too close when hunting this scarey looking species. That might account for the 5 leaf rear sight marked out to 300 yards. Its one thing to shoot at close range, face-to-face with a Tiger, but who would take a chance at getting attacked by a "Vampire Deer."
