British Pattern 1880 .450/.577 Short Lever Martini-Henry Infantry Rifle
$617.50
The Martini Henry, probably the most famous military rifle of the Victorian era incorporating the early “short” lever (bottom in picture) with 33” barrel in the new .45 calibre. This was the first manufactured breech loader to be adopted for general issue by the British Army. Internationally known for its role in the movies “Zulu” and “Zulu Dawn” it should be noted that at the Battle of Isandhlnana in January 1879 where the British lost its entire command of 1300 men, the Zulu’s suffered in excess of 2000 casualties. Followed by the memorable action at “Rorke’s Drift”, the Martini Henry Rifle more than any other represents British Colonial rule during the Victorian era. Good to Very Good condition. *Price includes shipping.
