What we actually have here is a copy of a Indian Trade Gun...as in American Indians! The Brits were famous for making import guns for the tribes that sided with them for trade purposes...

So we now have guns Made In India, representing Indian Trade Guns...now that's funny, I don't care who you are...


Yup the Brits were the first to find a market for military surplus.

They took old metal spear heads and turned them into daggers for the trade market. Converted Brown Bess's into trade guns for North America,India, and Africa.

You did a good job of making yours into a pretty decent looking trade gun

I like it.
