Martini Henry Mk IV Series B

Offered here is a very good Enfield, MK IV, B series, long lever, Martini Henry rifle dated 1887 from the Geoff Casselden Collection. The rifle includes an original sling and leather hand guard.

Originally made as a .402 Enfield Martini, it was converted to the MK IV Martini Henry in .450/557 caliber for service in India.

The .450/577 caliber barrel measures 32 inches with the whole rifle measuring 49 inches.

The action is clearly marked with the Royal VR cypher over ‘ENFIELD / 1887 / IV. / I.’. The falling block action is in excellent working order.

The regulation furniture with acceptance and War Department marks, is in very good condition.
