You mean the Liberator? I wouldn't have thought of that as particularly Martini-like, but...

Or were you thinking of the obrez idea? I... wouldn't be entirely surprised to find that someone had done something like that to an old Martini-Henry, honestly. (I'm pretty sure that's what the maker of the one in the video hoped buyers would assume it was.)
