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 ?

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.

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.
