Ishapore No1 MkIII

[Steve H. in N.Y.]

According to my book a AD suffix serial number would be 1980's production (1987 by the book) so will be a MkIII*

And that's what the photos look like. Expect a good bore, greasy wood and crappy black paint on the metal.

I've owned many Ishapore MkIII's from 1919 to 1924 or so that had the cutoff, but no volley sights. I've never owned a pre-1918 Ishapore that had not been updated to at least post-war pattern (e.g. volleys removed and new forestock).

They are rather rare.
