Highly desirable custom-built Martini-Henry single-shot sporting rifle chambered for an unidentified .22-caliber centerfire cartridge, featuring beautiful wooden furniture and custom gunsmithing by the late Vic Samuel. This attractive, unmarked example features a 26-inch barrel with a sharp, reflective bore and well-defined rifling, along with a 13.5-inch length of pull. Particularly noteworthy is the beautifully figured wood, which lends the rifle an elegant, traditional sporting appearance, complemented by a custom-fitted rotary dovetail scope mount that adds considerable interest to this unique configuration. The exact chambering remains unidentified, and a chamber cast will be required to establish the proper cartridge designation before attempting to fire the rifle. Mechanically, the classic Martini action functions smoothly and properly. Adding considerable collector appeal is the rifle's construction by the late Vic Samuel, an American gunsmith known for his specialized work with Martini-pattern single-shot rifles and custom sporting and target rifle conversions. Samuel's craftsmanship and appreciation for traditional single-shot actions are reflected in this distinctive custom sporting rifle. With its beautiful wood, specialized scope mounting arrangement, excellent bore, and association with Vic Samuel's custom gunsmithing work, this is an intriguing and highly collectible Martini-pattern sporting rifle.
