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.

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. |

Has any one found a source to send pics and information to that will help me identify the the vaule, condition, type etc for this enfield? From my research it is an original 3 band percussion...so if anyone has info on these Enfields from afghanistan, contact me....that includes you chapman! geo |

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.
