    Martini-Henry Garrison Artillery Carbine (1878) help needed

    Attachment 35520Attachment 35528Attachment 35522Attachment 35521Is the Horse Head stamp and the 104 stamp the mark of the Germanicon 104 Artillery Regiment ? and is this a Martini-Henry Garrison Artillery Carbine ? i welcome all off your thoughts on this

    Garrison units found the Mark I Carbine inadequate, as it did not have provisions to fix a bayonet
    Addition of a bayonet lug. This came in the form of a new noseband with a lug on its right side
    These Carbines are modified Martini-Henry Carbine Mark I's, and were somewhat of a stop-gap pattern until the Artillery Carbine Mark I was developed
    Cleaning rod shortened to accommodate the newly implemented bayonet
    The new noseband had to be repositioned lower down the weapon to allow the muzzle ring of the bayonet to fit over the muzzle
    Utilizes a modified Snider-Enfield Yataghan sword bayonet (bushed to fit the smaller barrel diameter of the M-H)

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.
