Best Martini Henry

[bigduke6]

This is a very unusual rifle. It might even be rare, if the marking can be verified. Can you post good clear pictures of the markings. If you have a scanner, scan the sides. Not many E.R marked Martini's are around and 1901 wouled be exceptioally rare.

To deactivate it as is done in UK is to destroy it. UK deact cannot be reversed. After UK deact it is just so much scrap metal and wood.

Please do not do it.

Dont worry,
deact was going to be the last resort, the only examples of these i have seen are deacts, a lot of collectors of obsolete calibre rifles and antiques dont have a Licence so any martini in .303 gets deacted and can be added to there collection. i am keeping this for my own collection, tried the best i could to show markings but they are very faint. you can see it has been converted from a Mk11.
