What can you tell me? Vickers Armstong Martini??

Hello,

Clearing up an estate and came across a British rim fire on an "improved" martini.

Beautiful piece, spectacular English walnut (cracked & repaired), with original Silvers recoil pad and 29" barrel and awesome Parker Hale(?) style sights.


Any info and opinions on price will be greatly appreciated.

Oh my, that's a sweet old girl. Gives me a boner I could build a garage with.

All I know about it is that it oozes class and, asusming the bore is sound, probably shoots like a house on fire. I hope it's safe, wherever it is.

Accurate, very well-made, Martini action rifles, made from early-mid 1920's to 1941 I believe. So few made that there is not a huge collector market, but something many Martini collectors would appreciate. Just sold an early one that would still put five inside a dime on a good day. Should fetch what a decent shape BSA Martini Model 12 does, price-wise. The weak point has always been the thin wrist.

the fact somebody broke it in half doesn't help much but since it's rare it's will still sell .
