Antique B.S.A. MARTINI-HENRY Mark III .577/450 Caliber FALLING BLOCK Rifle British Imperial Legacy MILITARY Rifle
Description: Antique B.S.A. MARTINI-HENRY Mark III .577/450 Caliber FALLING BLOCK Rifle British Imperial Legacy MILITARY Rifle Here we present an antique B.S.A. Martini-Henry Mark III No. 1 Single Shot Falling Block Military Rifle made in 1885 at the Birmingham Small Arms Company in Birmingham, England, with a production run between 1871 and 1889. Production numbers for the Mark I through the Mark IV were somewhere between 500,000 and 1,000,000 produced. During this time, production of the Mark IIIs exceeded 95,000 with orders for the New South Wales Government totaling 6,500 examples and Canada 5,000. 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, and most famously in the Zulu Wars in Africa. The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. Solid stock. Legible markings. “1885” dated frame. This example is littered with proofs on the left side of the barrel. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 33-1/4 inches. Caliber: .577/450 Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1350 #226044 SOLD Antique: Yes |
