"Gahendra" Martini

[Mikesm44]

Hello. This is my first Martini. It is a Gahendra Martini. I do not know much about these. I was told it was made in the 1880s, and I understand that these rifles were made in a sort of "cottage industry" in Nepal. As such the metallurgy seems to be unpredictable. This particular one has already fired a round packed with 110 grain. The previous owner apparently was curious. I think maybe one day I'll reload a few rounds, I got a bit of brass with it. Probably won't load it so hot though. Well anyway, I would appreciate any info you guys could give me. I have no idea how to find out or if I can find out how old it is.
