Hi all, I picked up this lance head and butt at the last gun show, pre-Covid and finally decided to post it here with several questions. They were purchased as a matched set yet I strongly suspect that the lance head is earlier than the butt and is Indian, the head Indo-Persian. The butt has markings which suggest it coming from the Bikaner Armory and I would ask if anyone on the Forum can interpret the markings for me. The marking appear on the butt and have used candle black to reproduce the markings as the do not show up well with my camera.
I've attached a recent link re the armory as reference.
