The SOG sold Martini came in. While I can't swear to it, it appears to be an original Martini-Enfield which is very pitted, re-blued and restocked, with the cocking indicator replaced with a non-standard part. The barrel is counter-bored, and looks like the Black Hole of Calcutta.

I'll probably return it, though it is tempting to see about re-barreling. I'm not ticked off though, what can be expected for about triple the price of a Moisin-Nagant?
