Thread: Help ID old bullets - Māori wars?

Anyone know what these are? Came from an artefact collector a few generations ago.
22lr for reference

Looks like primers of some sort too

The big one might be a .577/450 martini henry?

Rimfire .32?

Others would need to measure to guess...

I think that tin has percussion caps in it

Looks like 2 450 revolver rounds , one with the nice man-stopper projectile , a 38 short rimfire and a very tatty 577-450 Martini Henry round

That big round is a 577 snyder. I have a martini action and bandoleir of them.
I may be wrong but it looks exactly the same if a little munted.

Left to right' .455 Mk III, .450 Adams Mk I, .41 Rimfire, .577/.450 Martini-Henry.

Your right, I stand corrected. I'd been told me bandoleir was snider. I se it became the martini Henry. Although appears to be basically the same thing.
I wonder what my martini Henry rifle and bandoleir is worth these days. @gundoc? You might know?

I should add that the .455 Mk III is quite a collectable cartridge. Any cleaning should only involve washing and wiping (CRC is good). Do NOT use any abrasives, steel wool, or power tools!

Condition is everything so post some photos. There are at least two different bandoliers, both sought after.

Not sure where the bandoliers gone. There about 30or more rounds and the old rifle.
I was in the middle East hence the silver etc that they've stuck to it.
They would have a leer up and in the night drag out their old rifles and fire them in the air. Pretty hard case.

Whas that a Carbine before it got humped?I cant make out the rear sight?

Mate I have no idea. It has a sight at the back.
Of course it's from a country where they'd wrap a musket and and AK in homemade silver wire made from melted down Spanish silver coins and carry both lol.
So who knows what they get up to with adjusting stuff.

Looks like a Carbine barrel going off the front sight,it looks like it has a Rifle sight ladder on the Carbine barrel base?

Also I wonder what this circle is? Can you post a picture of the other side of the receiver?

Just as likely to be a locally made version. Those chaps were/are pretty inventive when it comes to copying rifles
