Originally made in BSA & MC Co. 1885 in 577/450.
Converted to Martini Enfield by Enfield 1897 to .303 British

Overall Condition is Antique VG +, Blue is 90%
Bore is shiny with a small amt of frosting but very clear and distinct rifling.
(Best 1897 303 bore I have seen). This rifle has the cleaning rod.
Woods is walnut original c/w hard to find wood hang guard (has a few cracks from the
delicate nature of this hand guard design). Sold out of service stamped, double facing arrows.
