Inscription on Indian musket
Would somebody be able to read and translate this inscription, on the stock of an Indian "Torador" musket?
Could it be the maker's name or even te owner's name? I couldn't take better pictures ... that's why i post three tests  Thanks for any help. Fernando Last edited by fernando; 9th February 2008 at 02:01 AM. |

Translation
Fernando,
From what I can make of it, the inscription reads: Num. 2022 Seedhee Seedhee in Hindi means 'Straight' Last edited by olikara; 9th February 2008 at 05:09 AM. Reason: Detail Added |

Nidhin,
Very nicely done - although I could only read the numbers  . They are very nicely written.

Thank you ever so much Nidhin ... you are great
 Now i have to find out what do they mean with the word straight ... probably referring to the format of the musket ?? When i get home, with better conditions, i will take some decent pictures and post the whole musket in either this or a new thread, for the apreciation of the members who like these things. Maybe some of them know the meanning for "straight". Again many thanks for your immediate and precious help Fernando |

"Straight"
Hello Fernando,
My opinion would be "straight" refering to the way it shoots rather than the style, I would consider the style to be a visual given, but the rifles abilty to fire straight an unknown until it has been tested and marked so, as many old rifles would not always fire dead straight. Just a thought... Gav |
