    Help identifying the maker of a rifle

    Been down to Wellington with a mate to the antique arms auction
    And I picked up a very nice piece of wood and steel
    What i do know is it’s a martini express rifle in 450 no1 express

    In good shootable condition with a nice bore for age
    But sadly externally its been rusty at some point
    And the ingraveing is obscured by light pitting
    I can make out the serial which is nice considering

    And I can make out “martini patient”
    But the actual makers names and crest are obscured

    I can make out (quite large on the frame ) 2 crossed flags inside a circle

    Any ideas what it is
