Manufactured in 1903, with a small matted patch on the top of the receiver ring. The left side of the barrel has the two-line nickel steel marking and the caliber marking is on top at the breech. The standard two-line address and patent dates is on the left of the receiver, partially obscured by the peep sight mount. The upper tang has the two-line trademark and model designation and the serial number is on the lower tang. It is fitted with a Lyman beaded blade front sight, two-leaf rear sight, and a Lyman peep sight mounted on the left of the receiver. It is mounted with a finely figured, H-pattern checkered, Schnabel tip forearm with ebony insert and a checkered straight grip stock with a hard rubber shotgun buttplate.

Fine, retains 50% plus of the original blue finish and strong case colors on the hammer with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina. The wood is also fine with some light handling marks scattered throughout, a horizontal hairline crack visible in the left of the wrist, and otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
