Bandook.....While I agree that it is likely that these are Indian (or in the case of #1 maybe Indo/Arab), I do not think that they are Toradors. The shape is wrong IMHO. The Torador stock has a much more pronounced notch and (usually) a straight stock.

Norm......Thanks your kind comments. I will definitely post again once the TLC is complete. This may take a while as there is not always as much spare time as one would like to get these things done.

Salaams kahnjar1 Very interesting ... we used to call these parapet guns before we heard the term Torador which I think at least one of them is...Indian gear is so broad and I cant think of a nation that has more Ethnographic arms and Armour... I would call them variations on a Torador...
