What an interesting piece. Brass funnel fitted to steel barrel is unique to me. Also, is that a hammer block safety that folds into place over the nipple?

Very interesting gun and a prize for any collection.
I’ve seen the brass funnel addition before and the.hammer block safety is rare also, more usual is a pivoting block that the breast of the hammer rests on and that falls away upon cocking

Yup, the upside-down G with the R the right way round says 'India' to me, and a lot newer than you might imagine.
