Antique NEW ZEALAND Marked LSA Martini-Henry Mk. III 1 Falling Block Rifle
1886 Dated LONDON SMALL ARMS CO. MILITARY Rifle
Here we present an antique New Zealand Marked London Small Arms Company (LSA) Martini-Henry Mk. III 1 Single Shot Falling Block Military Rifle made circa 1886 in London, England. The Martini–Henry is a breech-loading single-shot lever action rifle whose 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, and most famously in the Zulu Wars in Africa.
The overall condition is good. Weathered gray patina. The action is strong. The bore is dim but with good rifling. The stock shows lots of wear.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 33-1/4 inches.
Caliber: .577-450
