Manufactured 1868. With a faint hand written note dated 1890 that appears to include a name and the message "Lone man use this rifle to kill crow & out [five more words too faint to read]" followed by what appears to be another name.

Very good, with mostly a smooth grey patina on the iron along with some scattered light pitting, smooth attractively aged patina on the fine brass, and some scattered minor handling marks on the lightly sanded and reoiled wood. Mechanically excellent.
