Martini Henry Rifle
The Martini-Henry Rifle is a weapon of the British Empire. Unlike the Snider-Enfield it replaced, it was England's first service rifle designed from the ground up as a breech-loading metallic cartridge firearm. It protected and served the British Empire and her colonies for over 30 years. This robust weapon utilized a falling block, self-cocking, lever operated, single-shot action firing a .45 Caliber rifle cartridge.
