Description:
1883 Antique LONDON SMALL ARMS (LSA) Martini-Henry .577 Falling Block Rifle
1883 Dated Single Shot MILITARY Rifle
Here we present an antique London Small Arms (LSA) Martini-Henry Single Shot Falling Block Military Rifle made circa 1883 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. Gray patina. The action is excellent. The bore is dim but with strong rifling. The stock shows much use and remains solid.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 33-1/4 inches.
Caliber: .577-450
