Own the Legendary Martini-Henry MkII Rifle — A True Piece of Zulu War History (UK Legal)
This is not a replica. This is an original Martini-Henry MkII rifle, produced in the 1870s and carried into battle during the Anglo-Zulu War — the very same model featured in the films Zulu and Zulu Dawn.
Expertly preserved by a professional antique gunsmith, each rifle is disassembled, cleaned, and restored with utmost care. Worn parts are repaired or replaced with period-accurate components to ensure both authenticity and collectible integrity.
Whether you’re a serious militaria collector, a historical reenactor, or just someone who shouts "Rear rank fire!” every time you watch Zulu — this is the crown jewel of Victorian-era firearms.

For best results our history t-shirts can be machine-washed cold with like colors. You shouldn't use any fabric softeners or dry-clean the items.
DTG-printed apparel can be tumble-dried on a low cycle, but hang-dry works best. Do not iron the print.










Living in the UK I didn't even know I was allowed to purchase my very own Martini-Henry rifle, The team at Wild History helped me through the whole process handling all the paperwork and extra fees from customs etc. I can now say I'm the proud owner of an original British Martini-Henry rifle. When I'm not holding it with awe it lives beautifully on my wall.
