Description:
Antique ENFIELD MARTINI-HENRY MKIV Single Shot .577/450 FALLING BLOCK Rifle
1902 Dated Stock with Sanskrit Markings
Here we present an antique Enfield Martini-Henry Mk IV Single Shot Falling Block Military Rifle made circa 1888 with a production run between 1871 and 1889 with somewhere between 500,000 and 1,000,000 produced. The first iteration of the rifle came about in 1871 and was adopted by the British Army to replace the Enfield Snider Breech Loading Rifles that were being phased out.
The action is based on the patent by American and Boston native Henry O. Peabody, which was improved by Swiss inventor Friedrich von Martini. The new polygonal barrel rifling was the design of Scotsman Alexander Henry. This is where the rifle derives its name. Martini–Henry variants were used throughout the British Empire for 47 years. Like other British weapons, the Peabody-Martini-Henry saw action all over the world, including in India and Afghanistan and most famously in the Zulu Wars in Africa.
This rifle bears the markings of Rawul Pindi in the roundel and bears various dates and Sanskrit markings.
The overall condition is near fine. Original blue finish. The action is strong. Bright bore with deep rifling. This example sports a solid stock that contains Siamese markings. “1888” dated receiver and “1902” dated stock.
