Thanks to all for your kind replies.

Gunman:
1937-38 is spot on because the date I have for the original owner of the gun purchasing this gun is 1940. It was certainly "made for export" as it was bought in Manton's shop in Calcutta to the best of my knowledge.

Lagopus:

I thought that Tolley's were more into wildfowling pieces but they obviously made guns for everything or as asked for. Mine is, as Gunman says, a "for the empire" version. It's the Eley's that I have now and hope to get more of soon.

Recoil Rob:

It certainly is light, yet handles with a balance that usually comes with a little more weight. My gun is painfully plain but has the lines. I intend to pit it against snipe and doves.Look to your PMs.

Eightbore:

Here's a cartridge for you.It came with the gun (although I am sure not collectible like the Remingtons). Made in Belgium by FN it has what I think is an aluminium case. Have a look below:








The Belgian with a modern Eley Two Inch.

All the best
