I thought I'd post this in the European section even though it was probably used in India. The reason I make this assumption is that there is a number 23 on the stock which I believe is 23 written in Sanskrit. I not sure what the calibre is but it appears to be about .50. I can find no other marks on it aside from the number. Any thoughts on the decoration of the lock? I can find no indication that was a government issue except for the number.

Cheers,

Greg
