Hi Stu,
Indian matchlocks which I'm sure will look really neat after a little 'pampering'. More Ethno firearms have started to appear on the Forum recently which for me is a bonus so looking forward to further posts after aforementioned 'pampering'. Nice guns.  My Regards, Norman. |

Thanks for the comments....
Kubur.....nothing is achieved without some hard work.... Bandook.....While I agree that it is likely that these are Indian (or in the case of #1 maybe Indo/Arab), I do not think that they are Toradors. The shape is wrong IMHO. The Torador stock has a much more pronounced notch and (usually) a straight stock. Norm......Thanks your kind comments. I will definitely post again once the TLC is complete. This may take a while as there is not always as much spare time as one would like to get these things done. I have hopes that at least one of these will be a "shooter" though the bores look rather gnarly at present. Time will tell...... Stu |

Salaams kahnjar1 Very interesting ... we used to call these parapet guns before we heard the term Torador which I think at least one of them is...Indian gear is so broad and I cant think of a nation that has more Ethnographic arms and Armour... I would call them variations on a Torador... Regards, Ibrahiim al Balooshi. |
