![regimental markings on MH Rifles Empty](https://2img.net/i/empty.gif) | Subject: regimental markings on MH Rifles Sat Jul 29, 2023 12:15 pm | |
| I have some questions about regimental markings , would all the rifles issued from the regimental stores have been marked ? would replacements sent out to the troops on campaign be marked or would they be marked to the regiment once they reached the individual units ? or not marked at all ?

| Herbie1815 There is probably no man on earth who knows more than, and can answer questions on the Martini-Henry rifle better than, Neil Aspinshaw. I suggest you contact him via his website: www.martinihenry.org or, better still, via THIS website. |

| Yes, Julian is correct, Neil is the man for this question, brilliant knowledge about the Martini.
The one that I got from Neil has got a lot of different markings on it, but I cannot be sure what they are all for or what they all mean, and some of the markings on the woodwork are very hard to make out.
When I bought it from Neil, I maybe should have asked him at the time what the marking meant, but it never occurred to me back then, I was just so keen to obtain a Martini. |

| Herbie I could have answered your questions direct but not with the detail Neil can provide and not with any guarantee that I could answer correctly any follow-up questions that would naturally arise. Neil is the man to get to the heart of the matter. |
