Birmingham Small Arms (BSA) Martini-Henry Single Shot Falling Block Target
Rifle made circa the turn of the century in Birmingham, England. The Martini–Henry
is a breech-loading single-shot lever action rifle whose first iteration of the rifle
came about in 1871 and was adopted by the British Army to replace the Enfield
Snider Breech Loading Rifles that were being phased out.

The action is based on the patent by American and Boston native Henry O. Peabody
, which was improved by Swiss inventor Friedrich von Martini. The new polygonal
barrel rifling was the design of Scotsman Alexander Henry. This is where the rifle
derives its name. Martini–Henry variants were used throughout the British Empire
for 47 years.
