Original Nepalese Gahendra Martini .577/.450 First Model Rifle with Bayonet - circa 1890 MG 42 Mounts None of the feed mechanismOriginal Item: Only One Available. Here we have a very nice example of a First Model Gahendra Martini rifle, purchased at a recent private military auction. This is one of many acquired in 2003 from the Palace of Lagan Silekhana, which functioned as the Royal Armory of Nepal. This example was cleaned and restored, however we do not know if this was a an untouched example, or one we restored years ago. It comes complete with the correct socket bayonet.
