- Condition: good cosmetic and mechanical condition, restored stock
- Details: rifle manufactured at Enfield, MkIV Pattern 1, 1887. Initially a reduced-caliber .402 version, produced in 65,000 units but never issued to the army. The extended opening lever and the receiver also distinguish it from the standard .577 models. With the advent of smokeless powder in 1886, the .402 rifles were converted to .577 as "Pattern 1". Later used in Nepal and issued to native troops (NS stamp, "Native Service").

- Dettagli: fucile prodotto a Enfield, MkIV Pattern 1, 1887. Inizialmente una versione in calibro ridotto .402, prodotto in 65'000 esemplari ma mai distribuiti all'esercito. Anche la leva di apertura allungata e il castello di culatta rappresentano delle differenze dai modelli standard in .577. Con l'avvento della polvere infume nel 1886 i fucili in .402 vennero convertiti in .577 come "Pattern 1". Successivamente utilizzato in Nepal, assegnato alle truppe native (punzone NS, "Native Service").
