Description:
KABHUL ARSENAL Antique MARTINI-HENRY.577/450 Caliber FALLING BLOCK Carbine
British Imperial Legacy Rifle w/BRING BACK Paper
Here we present an antique Martini-Henry Single Shot Falling Block Military Carbine made circa the late 1870s to the early 1880s at the Birmingham Small Arms Company in Birmingham, England, with a production run between 1871 and 1889. The Martini–Henry is a breech-loading single-shot lever action. 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.
Included is a U.S. Armed Forced affidavit “bring back” paper from Bagram, Afghanistan dated September 14, 2016 listing this gun by serial number “2152” marked on the gun in Arabic numerals.
The overall condition is good. Fully functioning action. Good bore for its age. There are a few repaired cracks on the wrist and they remain stable. Clear markings. When the rear sight is lifted, some resistance is present.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 21-3/8 inches.
Caliber: .577/450
