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 desirable "VIC" receiver marking associated with the Australian state of Victoria. This attractive example retains its classic military cadet configuration with a 25-inch barrel, sharp, well-defined bore, and 13.5-inch length of pull. The rifle presents in very good overall condition, displaying minimal signs of age and handling, including scattered minor dings and scratches, while retaining an appealing historic military appearance. Mechanically, the classic Martini action functions smoothly and properly. Adding considerable collector interest is the rifle's reported former ownership by the late Vic Samuel, an American gunsmith known for his work with Martini-pattern single-shot rifles and custom sporting and target rifle conversions. Samuel's appreciation for traditional single-shot actions and his specialized gunsmithing work make his association with this rifle particularly noteworthy. The Australian kangaroo crest and VIC receiver marking further enhance its appeal to collectors of British Commonwealth military firearms and Australian cadet rifles. With its desirable military markings, attractive overall preservation, sharp bore, and Vic Samuel collection association, this is a particularly interesting example of a classic Australian Martini Cadet rifle. C&R eligible.
