Enfield Martini Handgun

The metallurgy is doubtful and they should not be fired.

Take a factory tour.

When he called that artillery Luger a "Nazi Gun" I wanted to slap him!

The "Pure evil in my hand right there" comment was pretty unneccessary.

Made me want to give him one of these as well.


Oh, and Bearhunter gots some bad math going on. 365 days per year X 1000 guns per day (so he says - not sure about those production figures) = 365,000 guns per year. That's still pretty good, but don't be expecting to get anything factory lettered.

SKJ, you're right, bad math. That's still a lot of firearms in a small, poor area.

You and me both.

That's OK, I lose count too. That's what slides that lock back when your magazine is empty are for.

Lever had a heap of these things back about 1965, .303 and even a couple in .450MH. Prices were about $25, if I remember correctly. I was making $50.80 gross a week, paying taxes and union dues out of that, so it was a lot of money. Unfired Kar 98s were $27.50, unfired Kar. 43s were $65, a veryveryvery nice Borchardt, cased with accessories, was $750.

Only thing I had trouble understanding was the "VR" stamp under the crown.... and the 1920 date under that! And the word "ENFEILD" with the second "E" backwards.

Still, I sure wish I had one now; should be a BALL of fun.
