For the sake of clarity, I wanted to keep these photos separate from the last post.
They are of toradors, almost certainly from the Jaipur court, to show more examples of this type. Even down to the badly done engraving and the same pierced trigger!
The last example may be earlier or later, as it has no trisula on the barrel But! It depicts Siva holding a trisula so the same idea is present.
Hi Richard.

Just noticed something in these last photos you posted. The second photo from the top: Notice the round hole on the right, upper rear of the stock. Similar to the two photos below. One is on my gun, the other from a pic I Googled up. The hole is intentioal. But I have no idea what it was for (?) But I've seen this on others, and it's always on the right side. Any ideas ?

Thanks, Rick.
