Another Afghan Martini – Henry, this time a sporter that has seen better times too. Built on a Francotte type detachable lock action, it is in .577 – 450. The full ribbed, Henry rifled barrel is 26” long.

The “mosque” design on the receiver was the pre-1909 mark of the Kabul Arsenal.

In 1893 Emir Abdur Rahman had the British set up a modern (for the time) arms and ammo factory at Kabul to supply his army. Most known production were British style Martini – Henry and Martini – Enfield military rifles, though some repeaters and machine guns are recorded too, see

In the 1920s the Kabul Arsenal was closed down.
