The included factory letter confirms the rifle in .40-82 caliber with an octagon barrel and plain trigger when received at the warehouse on October 9th, 1889 and shipped October 12th, 1889 on order number 3819. Barrel and magazine shortened.

Good overall with traces of the original finishes, some scattered light pitting and minor tool marks, and the refinished wood having a small nail in the forearm and some scattered minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
