NSN. Manufactured circa the late 1800s in Nepal, chambered in .577/450 Martini-Henry, 33″ round barrel. Bore is good with strong, well-defined rifling noted. The metal has aged to a grey patina with scattered areas of oxidation present. Original Nepalese markings are noted throughout the rifle. The stock shows expected handling and usage impressions consistent with its age and military service. The Gahendra is a distinctive Nepalese-manufactured adaptation of the Martini-pattern military rifle and represents an interesting period of indigenous Nepalese arms production. Action is smooth and functions correctly with a tight lockup.
