Picked this up today. I have been looking at this particular Martini for some time, the dealer at the show finally let me have it after months of haggling.
It is, apparently, a Nepalese Francotte, but one unlike all the others I've seen. We have a brass buttplate, brass nosecap, and zero markings save for what looks like Nagari on the lever.
Although filthy, it looks like it is well built, not as crude as other examples I've seen.
Receiver has some sections(?) on it.
But what I'm really curious about is the cartouche/stock marking on the butt. No idea what it is, can find no reference.
It's about to get a thorough cleaning. Any thoughts are appreciated, more pics on the way.
