I'm getting ready to move house and have decided to thin out the collection to get some funds and clear some space.

I will have batches of kit/parts/accessories coming up for sale and I'm starting off with some obsolete firearms.

Feel free to ask any questions and I can post these out for £25 for the rifles and £10 for the revolver.

1) Martini-Henry MkII
2) 44 Russian revolver
3) Deactivated SVD Dragunov + POSP 8x42V

1) M-H - £850

The is a MkII dated 1878. It is in very good condition, take a look at the pictures for reference. The rifling is excellent and I've tried to capture the best picture I can. The only 2 things I can see are a small spot of surface pitting by the second band as shown and the cleaning rod is a bit bent, otherwise it is in excellent working condition. It comes with a sling still in its packet. I've shown the markings I can see but if you want any additional pics, please ask.

2) 44 Russian revolver - £900

This is a Spanish 44 Russian revolver which is identical to the S&W and is stamped '88' which I assume denotes 1888. It is in overall good condition with no pitting or rust, the bore is pretty much mint and most of the nickel finish remains. It functions well, it locks up tightly and cycles in single and double action.

3) SVD Dragunov + POSP 8x42 - £900 for both or £280 for the scope on its own

This is a 1987 dated, Tula manufactured SVD Dragunov. It is deactivated to current specification so is welded up and cannot be stripped beyond the top cover and magazine and has the gas parts removed. It has polymer furniture fitted and a POPS 8x42V scope. I am willing to split the scope if someone wants it as I have a 4x I can put on it for sale. This is for sale elsewhere.

M-H bore and sling pic

Also, something I forgot with the SVD, it has the Tigr brake and I have a SVD replica brake that comes with it. Also the history behind it is interesting. It was captured in Afghanistan and used for body armour trials, hence the '12 REGT ARM 003' stamp on it.
