Good morning folks
Im a actually somewhat embarrassed about posting this here .
But , I have a question that maybe some of you can help me with .

I took in as part of a trade a muzzle loading SXS .
Its not worth much but I thought I could use some of the parts and the price was right .

I do believe this was a piece made in Indian probably 1971
I also believe that the 113 is the serial # as every part is stamped with that number .

The marks are also all on the top of the barrels not on the bottoms .
Again im pretty sure these are marks from India . But I don’t show them in any of my books .

If someone here would have information on these , I would like to include this information in my resource books .

both breeches have what appears to be a Pottery on close inspection maybe a type of crown , with BP under it . then forwards of the breech is a wagon wheel with P under it . then the pot/crown again with BP under it , then a 16 inside a diamond followed by .662

both barrels are marked Not Nitro, 75 grain , 1 oz

now the left barrel says ;manufactured by S.Insaf Alissons Jodhpur

the right barrel says I.O.F. TESTED . Nos.113 English Barrel

the locks are marked S.I.S JODHPUR and carry the 113 on the inside
Again all the parts including the stock , are marked with this 113.

Again I know this is a piece of little to no quality . But im more interested in learning about the markings .



Thank you all for your time .
I hope you have a happy holiday season

1st and 3rd marks are definitive black powder proofs. 2nd mark is provisional proof of a smoothbore barrel. 16 is the gauge, .662 the bore diameter. 75 grains would refer to black powder. 1 oz is the shot charge.

IOF is the Indian Ordnance Factory. They make ammunition, gun barrels, etc. They will also test other maker's barrels.

Jodhpur is a city in India. I have no info on Alissons. You might want to ask here:

I can confirm that they are indeed Indian proofmarks, but I can't give you the dates.
