I bought one a year or so ago at a local auction. I learned more about it in this last hour than I had in an entire years research. It appears that I have one of the last models, it has that extra screw. If someone’s collecting a data base on them, I’d be happy to email them photos.

Thank you for the data on the Gehendra; if I ever get mine in shootable condition I'll be sure to use bobos from the hollow-base bullet mold I have for my C&B revolvers so that the bullet can "follow" the variable bore for better accuracy...

Now *that's* a big ask! Thin on the ground, esp. in un-bubba'd condition, plus the process of rolling your own ammo for it is more convoluted than most...

Very interesting indeed and has made me think again about Gehendra Rifles. Thanks......

Pretty awesome & fair assessment that could only come from having done a lot of deep dives into the guns of this "prototype period" of history & why I love your show. Spent the whole episode agreeing with Othias - "What if you took this ingenious mechanism and made it RIGHT?" Enbloc Microsoft Clippy graphic - priceless! XD

I'm shaken--this version of the Martini is stirring.

Kudos on the idea of contrasting the Dwarvish Martini and and the Elven Gehendra. My failure to take advantage of the Atlanta Cutlery offerings has been a minor regret, one among many regrets concerning guns that I ought to have bought and shot. You have entirely relieved that minor regret; I am glad that you shot these, and I no longer wish that I had shot them myself

Outstanding episode; we're long overdue to have a well researched and clear presentation on a gun like the Gahendra in the mainstream from a channel such as yourselves!

Love you guys and proud supporter, so I'm just offering feedback for the channel's good by saying imagine the increased attention and new supporters if you start moving to WW2 guns. And maybe a few crossover episodes with a certain, longhaired American WW2 small arms author. Just a thought. Regardless, I'll donate and be patient.

Early-on the mystery Napalese slant breech sort of a Sharps was mentioned. I acquired a carbine version. Good shooter. IMA made-up some gobbledygook Confederate connection.

There are 2 different years for the death of Gehendra Shamsher (1905 (at 12:26 and 13:38) and 1906 (at 28:18 and 30:36)
