Hi Rick,
Nice good Jazail, no inlays missing and the lock is really cool.
I have to say that these guns are so common in the UK that sellers don't give you the change instead they give you a Jazail...not like you...again very good lock...

Hi Jim.
Yes, the markings on this one are real clear. Almost no fading. I'll take the lock off and see if I can find some more marks.

Thanks Rick!
On the European forum we are discussing EIC markings, and my thread is seeking any sword BLADES which are marked to the EIC. There has been a great deal of attention toward the outstanding work by David Harding 1997-99, "Small Arms of the East India Company". This is a huge 4 volume set and accordingly horrendously expensive.

Hi Kubur.
LOL!!

Actually, from an historical standpoint, I'm not surprised that a lot of these ended up in the UK. There are quite a few in the States. But it's often difficult to locate one in better condition. And yes, a nice authentic Trade lock versus a locally made copy. That's one of the reasons I bought this one.
Rick.
