Darn- can't find an "envy" smiley in the list! If you haven't already done so, sign up on the Martini-Henry Forum (p223.ezboard.com/fbritishmilitariaforumsfrm1) as well; it is populated by serious Martini addicts who have a wealth of information. And yes, please do post pictures when you get it.

May I ask where you got it and if there were any problems getting it into Canada? I have two Martinis (a .310 Cadet and a .303 carbine) but am feeling a strong urge to get another.
