My son just received this in the mail.He likes old things

He always gets a big smile when he unpacks something

At first he was thinking he wanted to fire it at least one time but now he thinks not I told him needs some period ammo for his display.

That's a beaut. Looks like a little Nepali writing on the stock...part of the IMA hoard?

I have always wanted one but was fearful of all the fakes that were reportedly out there and have yet to research how to identify genuine ones.

Where did he get it?

Very nice. I was just looking at the book Mr. Single Shot's gunsmithing ideas. There is a chapter on cutting up and modifying Martinis. I am certainly not advocating doing that to this one. In fact, the idea that there was a never ending supply of old guns led to so many being bubbaed and otherwise altered that it seems fairly unusual to find an unaltered one these days.

I just sold 60 pcs of .577/450 Martini Henry brass last week. There are loaded rounds on Gunbroker for sale.
