Nice, Ramandeep. I presume all this is within your family? Can you tell us about the custom work on the Geco? Is the Mauser a 7mm? The IOF pistol seems to have been worked upon too.
They are in fine shape, must commend you on that.

Thank you very much for the appreciation, well definitely all the weapons are in the family 3 of them are owned by my father, 3 by me, 2 by my brother.
Well as far as the Geco gun you are asking not much of customization one can notice, but there is a special brass plate engraved on op of the barrel in which it is written "Specially manufactured for R. B. Rodda & co." for which I enquired long back was an arms trading co. in Calcutta during the British Raj, so i believe there were regular made Gecos and this was specially ordered may be to suit someone's specifications.
The cartridge used by Mauser is 9.3x64 Brenneke which is rarity to find in India have been looking extensively for the cartridge but not able find, this gun is the finest one in my collection, if you notice carefully this rifle has double trigger has an amazing cutaway bolt action and is a very powerful weapon.
Yes the iof pistol has been worked upon i got it done through Jaswant singh & co. from Amritsar.

Wonderful collection Ramandeep. Love the W&S shotgun.
One question though. What's that knife with orange grip ?
