I'll look and see if the bore is rifled, as I don't remember. And sorry if my post was misleading as I know it's not a Palmetto Armory weapon, just thought maybe someone had seen a similar etching on a non-Palmetto Armory gun. I've seen a similar style of serial numbers from a certain real Confederate Armory made weapon, but I can't remember which one. I should have taken better notes when I've researched it every couple of years.

Are there specific pictures that I could post to provide additional insight?

My dad always thought it looked like a hand-made pistol, and it certainly looks and feel old.

I know it wasn't faked in the last 35 years, but before that anything is possible. Certainly never thought it might be from India!
