Treasures of the Khyber Pass - "Martini Henry" edition

[Sentryduty]

While digging through another thread the term Khyber Pass came up and it reminded me that I have interesting photos of such rifles to share.

Attached are some photos taken from the bazaar that was located just inside the wire at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan, my notes remind me that these photos were taken on 8 April 2006, nearly a decade ago.

I did not take any photos of the overall rifles as I was trying to record markings to verify if any of these guns were real once I could obtain internet access. However due to operational tempo this was my first and last trip to the market and I was unable arrange purchase or shipment of a wall hanger.

But now each of you can share in the quality craftsmanship of Khyber Pass "Genuine Fakes" and I hope everyone will take turns picking out the various errors in their copies. I seem to have collected photos of two rifles each a little different.

Enjoy!
