Hi Bandook.

I think Corrado and Jim are close to the mark here. The gold wash decoration and barrel profile look very Indian to me. This gun looks like a styling exercise by the maker/owner. Curious all the iron parts are decorated - except the butt plate. There is some slight English styling, but for the most part a custom design. Very interesting gun and worthy of further research. Speaking of which, I wish I could find a copy of Hardings book. Anyone have one for sale ? LOL
