This came to us from a recent gun show, and did not come out of Nepal. This is a very late production Three Band Snider Enfield rifle, with a fantastic "service worn" look. This very nice example is marked B. S. A. Co. 1871 on the lock plate, for manufacture by the prolific Birmingham Small Arms Company. Above this is the correct "Lock Viewer's" CROWN ARROW marking, and it also carries the stamping of the CROWN V. R.
