Martini Henry MKIV

[Huttles94]

The other day I ordered a Martini Henry Mark IV rifle and it just arrived this morning.

Lovely looking rifle with plenty of its original bluing left and next to no pitting on the barrel (tiny bit on the wood line that is it). Bore is perfect to. The fore end has been repaired at some point in its past but that does not bother me too much. Overall a great gun and I am glad to have it!

It has both a Enfield cartouche and a Firozpur cartouche. It also sent to Kirkee arsenal in 1908 before being shipped to Nepal.

My only question with it is, what do the Nepalese markings mean? (I know the markings in the rectangle box on the stock is Chandra) but the other Nepalese markings on the stock and trigger guard I have no idea. I believe that the trigger guard marking is the regiment/unit markings but that is all I know. Anyone on here knowledgeable on these markings?

Thank you, here is a link to some pictures. If any more are needed, please let me know.
