Hi Vikram,

It is written :
Shri 3 (teen) Chandra Shamsher Jung
Year 1967 (Is as per Vikram Sambat : Hindu calender. It is a popularly used calendar in India and the official calendar of Nepal)
No. 130

Shri 3 (teen) Chandra Shamsher Jung Bahadur Rana was the fifth Prime Minister of Nepal from the Rana dynasty.
He was born on 8 July 1863, and died on 26 November 1929.
The year marking 1967 (As per Vikram Sambat : Hindu calender ) means 1910 (As per Christian calender).

This is all I know .

Vikram:

Do these two links have anything that applies?

Good find Timmy.

That second link brings to my mind that these rifles were owned by the same person, the prime minister, perhaps for a personal unit? Bodyguard or so?

Good find Timmy.

There is a mistake in the 3rd para of this link >>> http://www.militaryrifles.com/Nepal/NPScript.htm
It says '' However, since the Nepalesse calendar is 57 years behind the Western Calendar'', which is incorrect , Vikram sambat / Hindu calendar / Nepalesse calendar is ahead by 57 years from the Western Calender or The Christan calendar. Current Vikram sambat year is 2066.
Plz Correct me if I am wrong .

You've got me, Sudesh! I'm totally ignorant and illiterate on this!!

Vikram, I'm a big admirer of the Martini Henry action. The long lever gives good extraction, compared to something like a Rolling Block and the nice striker gives a quick lock time without having a sledgehammer whacking the gun at the time of impact.

I at first thought the gun you linked was one of the long lever Martinis that we'd seen imported here -- evidently, Nepal is cleaning out its stocks. However, like you, I see they had their own production of a similar gun.

Thanks for posting, gentlemen!
