Martini Henry / Martini-Henry / Peabody-Martini-Henry
A rifle that can be called the "Peabody-Martini-Henry" is actually a Peabody pattern that was further modified to a self-cocking hammerless design of Friederich von Martini of Frauenfeld, Switzerland, along with the rifling design of Edinburgh gunsmith Alexander Henry. The Peabody was an American designed rifle which was first patented in 1862, but was fully developed too late to have an impact in the American Civil War.
