Rigbymauser,

Just out of curiosity, would you remember which Madras company was inscribed on the barrel? And, of course, this is in my pester for pictures mode would you please ask your friend who owns the rifles to post pictures here?

There were three armouries in Madras in the old days as far as I know, P Orr and Sons were the biggest, there was an Indian owned business, Hindustan Armoury (which is still functioning in a nondescript location in Anna Pillai Street) and there was a Police Armoury in Saidapet near the old Armenian settlement which sold guns (and still does) for the personal use of police personnel and civil servants.

If only that rifle could talk, it would tell of a magnificent journey from the US via Britain to India and thence to Denmark...

Good hunting!




I don`t think I`LL get to talk to the guy who had the winchester(never liked him)....I bought a tiger fur spread of him where the company who had done it had a "Mysore" marking. I only recon the Madras name as it is unusal among winchesters.
