deficient in arms.

refers to the pattern of an earlier short rifle adopted in 1860. 
These 1877 short rifles were virtually identical, except were new 
made arms rather than conversions of Enfields.

From a private collection in Bunbury. The butt and body of the 
first rifle are both marked as Mark II, but are made by different 
manufacturers. The body, by London Small Arms Co. is dated 
1880, while the Enfield made stock is dated 1883. This rifle could 
be from an 1885 order for 101 Mark II Martini-Henrys. The butt 
and body of the second rifle are both manufactured by Enfield. 
The butt retains its correct checkered buttplate. Because of the 
poor condition of the butt, the stand number could also be "3".
