Mack The Knife,
Saw the H&H at Asian armoury today.Was looking for reels in NR road.The dealer was surprised when I recognised the rifle in his showcase.The dealer claimed that one couldn't get .375 ammo.Is that true?

Nopes, not true - it is expensive though, the choice is limited and not all dealers would have it in stock, but AFAIK it is available... Unless he means .375 flanged cartridges, used in double rifles... I believe those are really difficult to get a hold of... One of Mack The Knife's friend's seems to have .375 double, maybe he can shed some additional light on this topic...

Cheers!

Sujay, I have no idea which aesthetically challenged twit commissioned this work and even if I did, there's no reason to stand on formality. Fire away! ;)

Mack The Knife,

Just like in a classic Agatha Christie mystery, the clues have been under our eyes all this time!

I simply took your image:

And concentrated on it while standing on my head, and the mystery suddenly became clear!

Did the original owner belong to Ranchi? I came across a .22 LR Brno rifle similarly decorated which was given to a friend's wife by her father, a very enthusiastic shikaari of his time. It is lying in Mumbai now. The pattern is very similar and I even inquired with her when I saw her Brno. But she could not remember as they had too many fire arms in the family then.
Just probing for fun. Maybe I could tell you the original owners name.
