An interesting Martini of some sort,Unfortunately Heritage Auctions is reviewing this item and has yet to post a description. However I am going to go out on a limb and make an educated guess as to what it could be.At first I thought that it was a Martini rifle of Indian or perhaps Afghan origin, perhaps from Nepal. Then I remembered seeing similar designs and an identical type of buttstock on trade muskets that were sold to Native Americans living in the Arctic in Subarctic regions. So I would guess that it is a Martini rifle decorated by tribes of Northwest Canada or the Canadian Pacific Coast.When Heritage Auctions posts the description I will post the results for comparison with my identification. -- source link
