Mk2

Is that a MK2 Martini Henry ?

.. Also .. how about a bit of "Cow Dung Camo" on the pith helmet !!

Thanks for the comments.
Regarding the the rifle yes it is a updated MK1 Martini Henry dated 1875, the medal is an original 24th of foot Islandhwana casualty who enlisted locally.

Many thanks Gareth,

Pity

Pity it wasn't a MK1 unmodified .... rare as hens teeth !!
(Does it still retain it's original bore ??)

Very nice Gareth. Thanks for posting. Great movie. All I have is the Helmet with a very bad repro 24th of foot helmet badge, way to thick, will not bend to fit helmet. It will have to do for now.
Thanks
