Description:

This rifle was originally manufactured in 1891 and was subsequently upgraded to the current configuration. The lower tang has the two-line patent marking with "COLOR CASED BY DOUG TURNBULL" to the left, "ENGRAVED BY DAVE RICHARDS" to the right, and the serial number in gold inlay at the rear. The barrel has a nickel-silver blade front sight, sporting rear sight (elevator absent), the two-line address and patent marking ahead of the rear sight, and "38-55 W.C.F." on top at the breech. The frame features floral scroll engraving with finely textured backgrounds, gold inlaid borders, "XP" in an oval gold inlaid on the right side, a desert scene with a gold inlaid man on horseback on the left side, and gold inlaid borders on the lever and hammer. The rifle buttplate and forend cap also feature gold inlaid borders. The rifle is equipped with a single set trigger and mounted with a checkered forearm and pistol grip stock with nice figure on the butt.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as custom upgraded to the current configuration with minimal light handling and storage marks. The wood is fine and has crisp checkering, minor chips and filler in the wrist, gaps at the buttplate, faint crack at the rear of the forend, and otherwise minor wear. Mechanically fine.
