Copper wire re-inforcement is not strictly Indian. It was done also in Australia and in the UK, though the UK primarily did this mod in WW1, it continued to be done in small batches up to the 1960's or so.

Thanks for correcting me. That's what I get for speaking in absolutes! I sold my rifles several years ago after my tastes changed and have not kept up with them since then. When I spoke to the importer/distributor via phone back in '87, I remember him telling me that this particular batch came out of India, so that's where I made my assumption.
