Description
Peabody Martini Henry 11.43x55R/7.65x53mm
Was this license produced in Turkey ?
No, that rifles produced and bought from Britain during Russo-Turkish War (1877-78), But they produced for Ottoman army and they have serial number written in Ottoman Turkish.
There are two types of Turkish Peabody Martini. This is Type A, which have safety and no bayonet lug, so fitted for socket bayonet.
