Salesmen's sample, a pretty cool addition to my gunroom, I think.

Super nice. That has to be rarer than the two damascus barrel demonstration pieces I used to own. Wow!

A very, very neat thing to have. Mine is in 500-450 #2 Musket and has Henry rifling and I'm assuming this one, if made by Enfield, has Enfield rifling. Of this date, I would say that it is more off the Peabody "hammerless" (at least no external hammer) patent and I'm not sure what Martini had to do with it. Have you heard a good explanation for that? In 1964 I went with a friend to see a Danish (?) rolling block that was advertised in the newspaper at a man's house. He bought it for the advertised $10 and I asked the man if he had any other single shots and he came out with the WR military. What did he want for it? $10, and it went back to the dorm with me.
