To continue the theme of the Turkish weapons, here is one classic weapon of the Ottoman Empire, very important in the 1877 Russian Turkish war - the Peabody-Martini. The Turks tried to purchase Henri-Martini guns from Britain, but could not. However the Providence Tool Company from the USA produced for the Turks exact copied of the weapon, and it ws named Peabody-Martini. If you have time to read, here is an interesting article about the history of that weapon: http://www.militaryrifles.com/Turkey/PeabS...eabodyStory.htm So, here it is in photos. Those Ottoman, Americal made guns, are exact copy of the British Mk I, the main difference are the markings. On one side, those guns have the US manufacturer name. On the other side - Sultan's Tughra and Turkish number. There are also crescent moon signs on almost all parts. Also, the aiming measures are with Turkish numbers.
