What is significant

British Snider Cavalry Carbine MG 42 as the Commandos called themOriginal Item: Made in England these are unusual first model Snider System carbines in . 577 cal. The only Cavalry in the Royal Nepalese Gurkha Army was "The Royal Bodyguard" which would certainly account for the fact that so few Cavalry Carbines were discovered in the old Palace. Of very interesting construction, each Snider Carbine is half stocked with checkering on both wrist and forearm. The furniture is all steel and bears some line engraving,
