Uù Thanks Rick. Now that I've got the gun, I can report that a quick oil clean has improved the look of the iron. I can't exactly say what the barrel bands are made from. It's organic, one strand has split and it looks almost like paper, vellum maybe? I have no idea. The bands seem to have...

Good afternoon. I've just purchased this at auction (will pick up on friday) I've made a point of keeping the saleroom pics because my own camera isn't great. I don't suppose anyone can tell me if this is indeed indian and where abouts it might be from? It's about 60 inches overall, not sure of...
