That is definitely not a Martini Henry. A Martini Henry is a Martini action with a Henry rifled barrel in 450/577. As Islandguy says, that looks suspiciously like a Francotte action. It has a safety, that lever on the RH side of the receiver. Military Martini Henry's and Martini Enfield had no safety. I suggest you go here and post those pictures. Those guys will know.
