    Martini Henry is quite iconic due to Zulu and can be hung on the wall as an ornament. Unless you want to shoot it then of course it needs to be locked in a steel cabinet

    I had a chance at a captured and recaptured, Arab, martini Henry once, but I missed out... I was absolutely daft!
    It was decorated with silver wire and studs.. absolutely cracking...

    If it makes you feel better, it may (probably) have been a fake. Thousands of Kyhber pass copies are on the market, most are polished white and feature decoration of sorts. I got my fingers burnt on a fake MK1 and I'd been collecting for years! It was very good.

    This was definitely original. It was in bad condition and the patina on the action matched the woodwork and silver..
    The lad who had it thought it was dodgy and had it stashed in a hockey bag under the floor if his shed! He was so dodgy it put me off... I later called him back but he had changed his mind about swapping it... he never answered my calls after that!? Gutted

    Anything obsolete calibre. I've got a very nice 7 bore wildfowling piece hanging in my kitchen.

    I had a couple of the martinis with silver work. Sold them at holts a couple of years ago. Not expensive at all, mine fetched about 200 each.
