Goldfields find from Victoria, Australia
Thought some of the members might be interested in this. Found this old rifle whilst out detecting in the goldfields of central Victoria, Australia, last weekend. Appears to be a Martini-Henry rifle, however it is too rusted to get any markings off it. It is a breech-loader like the Martini and appears to be of a similar caliber. Manufactured between 1871-1889.
Nice find! That will display well mounted over the fireplace!
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

It will won't it. I will eventually get it professionally mounted and framed.
Dropped by a member of the Kelly gang escaping the police ..............

LOL....I wish!
Perhaps you can find a wooden stock from somewhere to embellish it even more?
