I took a look at a H&H 8 bore Paradox that I have and it has
stamped on the bottom of the stock behind the pistol grip a
5 over 906. I have now seen this type of stamping at least ten
times on guns coming out of India. The stamp size and appearance of all of them are all the same. I also saw an article about a gun with the same number stamping that called the numbers a "registry". I would like to trace the guns that I own back to the original owner if possible. If I make any headway with it I will post it. I "think" that the top number would indicate the Indian state in which the gun owner lived.
