The Jury is not completely out on the Indian gun, I still have to show it to the guys who have dealt in the stuff for ages. They just have said they havn't run across those marks before, and they want to see them before they say yeah or nay. I just just take it that its not for reals. As my risk to reward ratio was so low on it, I had to take the chance.
Believe me I am not in the habit of buying stuff that supposedly was owned by someone or was somewhere at a certain time in history. I did buy the Otto Voit Rifle, but that came from the family, through someone who had known the lady for more than 20 years. Currently pictures of that rifle are in Otto Voits File at the LBH National Monument, and I will get that gun tested to see if it was at the Battle of the LBH. I don't expect it to test positive, but who knows its worth the shot.
I mostly buy bread and butter type of stuff like U see today.
