MARTINI-HENRY CARBINE

(DISPLAY ONLY)

KHYBER PASS COPY OF A .303 BSA PRODUCTION MARTINI-HENRY Mk III DATED 1903.
HISTORICALLY, BSA WAS NOT MAKING ANY Mk III RIFLES IN 1903. THERE ARE NO BSA PROOFMARKS, ANY MARKINGS ARE SOMEWHAT CRUDE. WAR DEPARTMENT STAMP IS UPSIDE DOWN. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PARTS AND MARKINGS ON THIS SPECIMEN THAT ARE INCORRECT, INCLUDING THE REAR SIGHT MARKINGS. SOME PROOFS HAVE BEEN POLISHED INTENTIONALLY AS PART OF THE FRAUD. THERE IS VERY HIGH PROBABILTY THAT THE STEEL IS NOT "PUKKA" AND MUST NOT BE FIRED. THE FIRING PIN HAS BEEN CUT SO AS TO PROVIDE MECHANICAL FUNCTION WITHOUT THE CAPEABILTY OF FIRING.

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT "LOOK-ALIKE" OF THE REAL MARTINI-HENRY CARBINE FOR DISPLAY, (WALL-ORNAMENT), ONLY.

AS IT WAS IMPORTED AS A "FIREARM", IT IS STILL SUBJECT TO REGULATION UNDER THE 1968 GCA. EVEN THAT IT QUALIFIES AS A "C & R", IT DOES NOT QUALIFY AS AN "ANTIQUE"

GENERALLY SPEAKING, THIS SPECIMEN IS A KHYBER PASS FRAUD, AS THERE HAVE BEEN MANY IMPORTED BY UNSUSPECTING U.S. IMPORTERS.

THE ABOVE INFORMATION HAS BEEN PERSONALLY CONFIRMED WITH IAN SKENNERTON, THE WORLD'S FORMOST EXPERT ON BRITISH MARTIAL ARMS.
