British Martini-Henry MKII Original Replacement Stock Set: NOS Category_Flintlock Pistols Hawes saysOriginal Item: Amazing! These stock sets are not reproductions. Found in Nepal with the rest of our 2003 cache of arms, we have a very small quantity of NOS (New Old Stock) Government marked original un issued butt & fore stock Martini Henry sets. Butt Stocks bear ? RFI? (Rifle Factory Ishapore) government stamps, as well as various other markings. We believe these stocks to be Walnut or a very close alternate hardwood.
