Best source for Martini Henry's right now is IMA. Their Martinis are from the Nepalese cache and are of British rather than native manufacture.

I have a Mark II and will soon get Mark IV from them. Plus they have lots of rare accoutrements :0

I bought a Mark II Martini from IMA. When I tried to fire it, I found this in the chamber..........

It's an original section of a foil case! The chamber was not damaged in any way and after removal, I have had great fun shooting the rifle at the range.
