calibre792x57.y Posted 27 August , 2012 Share Posted 27 August , 2012 Looks as if it was in Indian service. The brown leather scabbard with brass mounts is typical of Indian manufacture. The letters stamped on the pommel appear to be R F I - Rifle Factory, Ishapore. Plus the Crown and Pattern date appear to be overstamped, indicating a conversion from a P.1888. - SW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk VII Posted 29 August , 2012 Share Posted 29 August , 2012 Looks like somebody's used the pommel as a hammer - bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
