Hi Bandook
WOW!! Another nice Coorg Matchlock with it's distinctive butt stock style.
Lots of nice silver mounts. An interesting observation is the ramrod. One end looks like it was simply heated and bent over to form a larger tip for ramming the ball down the bore. Clever, simple method. Notice it still has it's pan cover, often missing on many examples. Looks like it would clean up very nice if you want.
Nice pair. Congratulations.
Rick
