	Boy, I wish I could help you out, but my experience is limited to 20th century Enfields. I have a couple books that might have some info in them. I'll check them out and post back what I find. Eric

	From $50.00 to $2000.00. Are they real? Are they Dhara production(still making them there)? What condition are they in? Is there any provenance for them? Need more information to give reasonable guess.

	You guys can post pictures on this forum... if that's what I understand you to be asking. Run your mouse over the icons at the top of the reply/post box and you will see the right icon to post a pic. Eric
