Gahendra Martini-Henry 1862 Enfield Pattern 1853

There's only one M-1 Carbine because I have just started collecting them. I had been concentrating on guns like were used by the Black Watch. Of course, the M-1 Carbine IS one of those.

No. That was the British made Martini-Henry.
The Gahendra was a copy that was hand-made made in Nepal. It is not an exact copy. No indicator as to whether it is cocked and whereas the M-H was fired with a striker, the Gahendra is hammer fired. There are a few other minor cosmetic differences like the cocking lever & a bigger receiver.. Otherwise, it's the same gun.

Welcome to the forum, it is nice to see collectors with a variety of collecting interest. I am not familiar with any of those other military firearms that you own. I heard of them, but that's all I know. You will learn much on this forum. I certainly have.
