Merry Christmas!
My last post I was "considering" a new purchase, and a few weeks ago I got a 10% off discount code in an e-mail from IMA, so I "pulled the trigger" and ordered a P-1871 short lever Martini-Henry. I specifically asked for a hand selected, BSA or Enfield, with a production date earlier than 1878 (in my mind..it had to be possible that it could have been at Rorke's Drift!).
The package deal included a original socket bayonet and a Nepalese scabbard.
Christmas came a little early for me yesterday, and the box was here when I got home from work.
And yes, the last photos are the hole in my ceiling from the bayonet...darn, those things are long!!
I am also fortunate to have a spouse that allows me to display my stuff in the living room!
I am very pleased with my 1875 model....what do you guys think?
