Excellent craftsmanship. A great piece of art. Very few of these are left in India now. Most of such weapons were purchased back by H & H and Westley Richards from 1960 to 1985 and have been taken back to the UK and sold among USA collectors mostly.

With bans and restrictions, India has lost a part of its rich heritage.

What ? !!! I`m afraid that UK and US collectors wouldn`t give that that rifle houseroom - the `native` decoration has ruined the value......The reason that many were bought up was to retain the barrelled actions which were restocked - the ornate versions were thrown away !

A bit loud for my personal taste, but lovers of Ethnic Indian art would love to have that rifle. The craftsmanship and the skill of the people who have worked on it definetely deserves appriiciation.

Last year H & H offered me a rifle inlaid with gold rubies and sapphire. Of course I rejected it.

For the 12 Bore O/U shotgun I have on order with H & H, initially I had asked for absolutely plain side plates and trigger guard. They pointed out that the cost would be nearly the same. On this my cousin chose to have a partridge and Mallard design put on it. I would have left it plain had I been alone.

What an incredible work of art! The first rifle in the world that you can multi-task wit. Play chess on the stock when you're not hunting! The artisan's plans for the future include fitting one with a DVD player and an X Box. Gentlemen, this is the future from Holland and Holland.

Mack The Knife,

I am interested but only if it's cheaper than what I would otherwise pay.Do check the condition of the barrel and action.The foresight seems to be missing?

I had a mouthful of hot chocolate when I read the above and snorted so hard I`ve resprayed my monitor - what a mess !

Oh well

the guys at H&H need to see the stock. The rifle is useful if its cheap. I wudn"t mind gifting the stock to the person who made it so artistic.....

Do you love Indian Ethnic Art ? Either a YES or a NO only.

For me ... I would like to show my appreciation by giving a penalty kick ( double ) to send him to Arts Class Besides reccomending prosecution under section 375 of Indian Penal Code
