Picked this up this past Sat along with a Martini Enfield ( which I just posted ) Supposedly brought back from Afghanistan, it's pretty solid, so I don't think it's a true 'Khyber Special' in the strictest of terms. The 'ENFIELD 1880' receiver marking is definitely fake, and you can see remnants of the original markings. Possibly a Citadel or Afghan carbine. Rounded receiver edges, and screws fot the leather sight cover. I imagine the counterfeit marking and date was placed there so that it could be sold to an unsuspecting GI as an antique, and therefore buy it and get it home. Welcome any thoughts.
