OE - GOOD - some minor replacement parts; metal smoothly rusted or lightly pitted in places, cleaned; principal lettering, numerals and design on metal legible; lightly scratched, bruised or minor cracks repaired; in good working order.

Manufactured in the 1890s.

OB - EXCELLENT- all original parts; over 80% original finish; sharp lettering, numerals and design on metal; unmarred wood.

Possibly one of those sold by Ames given the lack of Chicago markings. Comes in a wood case fitted to the gun with a cartridge block holding some degraded bullets.
