This video explores the fascinating history of British surplus Martini parts being rebuilt and assembled into rifles and carbines in Cairo, Egypt, at the Citadel Armory between 1903 and 1908. These firearms, intended for Egyptian security forces under British influence, were assembled using parts from various sources, with original British markings often removed and replaced by Egyptian markings indicating the Citadel and the date of assembly. The description highlights that while these guns often show signs of heavy use, they were built from legitimate British factory parts and remain quality firearms, representing an interesting, often overlooked, piece of historical arms development and production.
