| It certainly is an iconic Rifle, does any one know how many were used in the film as there were a number of bolt action Rifles on show as well. |

| They are without doubt a thing of beauty (standing behind it of course). I take it the ram rod is to clear stuck cartridge cases, did they have a" pull through" for cleaning purposes.?
And many thanks for printing the photo, I take it they are yours. |

| Hi Les. I have my Martini Henry with sling and fixed bayonet, mounted on the wall in my 'Junk Room' (as Mrs Shifter calls it) Along with my MH rifle, there is a lifetime of memories in there, such as lots of old Railway collectables, two, yes TWO Fender strat's (identical to Buddy Holly's), lots of military memorabilia, and lots of cricket memorabilia, loads of historical collectables, many, many, many books etc, and she calls it 'JUNK' Women! who can understand them Cheers mate. ![Salute](/users/1313/16/75/50/smiles/770175799.gif) |

| lol. that sounds like quite a collection there mate! ' JUNK ', It sounds like nirvana to me! just imagine your collection replicated all over the country..and people pay really good money to visit the most inane places, gorping at any old tat, as long as it gets them out of the house for half a day! so imagine if there was a network of tours of people just like you...all with half a lifetime of interesting stuff, like you on diverse but eclectic collectibles..Hmmm! i feel the germ of an idea coming on! £10.00 a pop, just meet a pre arranged charabang chip in a bit for the peccy, and do the tour county by county lol. any richard bransons out there can have that one for free.. |
