Seeking Kabul-Made Lee-Metford and other firearms help

[3Miles2Gburg]

Greetings everyone. I'm researching material for an upcoming book dealing with the Kabul Rifle Factory, arms production, and Martini Identification. Over the years I've come across references to Mannlichers, Lee-metfords, and "seven-shot repeater" rifles also produced there, as well as various other pieces stamped with the royal ownership mark (mosque or mosque in a starburst).

My appeal is for help - more example pictures, references, or knowledge of Kabul mannlichers - and Lee-Metfords and "seven-shot" rifles, etc. (I've got the Martinis covered already.)

The only Mannlicher I found was at the page below. This week I located one other. The attached picture is from the Mannlicher but is likely found on Lee-Metfords and any other factory produced firearm as well with either a mosque or mosque in star. The photo is attributed to Warren Shindle.

Have tried asking on the britishmilitaria.yuku.com forum?

"Kabul town's a blasted place; blow the trumpet, draw the sword."

We've discussed at least one such "long Lee" here before; done a search?
