Receiver manufactured 1888 per Madis, barrel and magazine tube replaced. Included factory letter lists the rifle in .40-65 caliber with an octagon barrel and plain trigger when received at the warehouse on 3 August 1888 and shipped the same day in order number 9331.

Fine overall with most of the blue finish on the replacement barrel and magazine tube with the remainder mostly a grey patina, a few scattered patches of light pitting, and some scattered minor handling marks on the wood. Mechanically excellent.
