1887 Martini Henry
Posted: Mon Oct 17, 2016 2:22 pm
Hi folks I have for sale a 1887 Martini Henry made at Enfield in the original 577/450 caliber. Lots of markings and possibly one of the ones from Nepal.
I bought this gun as a shooter but it ended up as a wall hanger for over a year and I have decided to sell it.
Even though I bought it as a shooter I am not sure it would be 100% doable as the outside of the barrel has some pitting (pictures at the bottom). However I have put a primer in a case and pulled the trigger and the gun works leaving a nice dent in the primer.
Having looking at some of the prices online for similar guns I am asking for £780 but am open to reasonable offers. I will also give the one and only 577/450 case I have with the gun.
