The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

The Martini-Henry is a lever-action, single-shot breech-loading rifle adopted by the British Army in 1871. It served as the standard British service rifle throughout the late Victorian era across numerous imperial conflicts.

These rifles were constructed primarily from forged steel barrels and receivers, fitted into dark walnut wood stocks. Components such as barrel bands, sling swivels, and trigger guards were fashioned from iron or steel, occasionally accompanied by leather slings.

Authentic examples feature specific ordnance markings, crown inspection stamps, and manufacturer cyphers on the receiver flat. Additionally, original pieces exhibit period-correct lever-action mechanisms, original iron sights, and consistent serial numbers across major components.

Metal components require light applications of microcrystalline wax or gun oil to prevent rust and oxidisation. The wooden stock should be maintained with paste wax, keeping the object in a climate-controlled environment away from excess humidity and direct heat.

An antique rifle is typically displayed as a wall-mounted focal point in a study, library, or hallway. Mounted horizontally on custom brass brackets or within a glazed display case, it complements dark timber panelling, leather upholstery, and neutral wall tones.
