Manufactured in 1901. The top of the barrel is marked with the standard two-line address and the "38-55" caliber marking at the breech. The upper tang is marked with the three-line model, trademark, and patent information, and the serial number is marked on the bottom of the receiver. It is fitted with a pinned, beaded blade front sight, folding ladder rear sight, and a saddle ring on the left of the receiver. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a carbine buttplate.

Fine, retains 50% of the original blue finish, faint traces of the case colors, and 60% of the original nitre blue on the loading gate with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina and a few scattered patches of light pitting that show some cold blue touch up on the left rear of the frame. The wood is very good with a few hairline cracks in the wrist and some scattered minor dings. Mechanically excellent.
