Highly desirable Australian-marked Birmingham Small Arms (BSA) Martini-Henry Cadet single-shot rifle chambered in .310 Cadet, featuring the distinctive Australian kangaroo crest and an interesting association with the collection of the late Vic Samuel. This attractive example retains its classic military cadet configuration with a 25-inch barrel, sharp, reflective bore with well-defined rifling, and 13.5-inch length of pull. The rifle displays minimal signs of general handling and use, including scattered minor dings and scratches. The wooden stock does exhibit a few small areas of missing wood, although it remains solid and structurally sound, retaining its classic military appearance. Mechanically, the Martini action functions smoothly and properly. Particularly noteworthy is the rifle's former ownership by the late Vic Samuel, an American gunsmith recognized for his work with Martini-pattern single-shot rifles and custom sporting and target rifle conversions. Samuel's specialized interest in these historic actions and his custom gunsmithing craftsmanship add an appealing element of collector interest to firearms associated with his collection. The distinctive Australian kangaroo crest further enhances this rifle's appeal, reflecting its Commonwealth military cadet heritage. With its desirable Australian markings, impressive bore condition, solid stock, and Vic Samuel collection association, this is a highly collectible example of a classic Australian Martini Cadet rifle. C&R eligible.
