Manufactured c. 1875-1890 with only a few thousand produced. This example certainly shows traits above the standard grade of rifle. The standard two-line Remington address and patent dates is marked on top of the barrel as well as on the upper tang. There are no markings on the bottom of barrel. The left sides of the upper and lower tang are marked with the assembly number "47569". Judging by the appearance of the chamber, the rifle is likely configured for the .38 Extra Long RF cartridge. German silver blade front and the typical, folding, combination open notch/peep rear sights. Fitted with a unique set trigger "switch", mounted just behind the trigger guard/in the rear bow of the trigger guard. To engage the set trigger with it in the down/forward position, the rifle is fully cocked and then the switch pushed up towards the lower tang. The writer does not recall seeing another example like this. The set trigger appears to have been installed after the rifle left the factory but is certainly factory quality work. Nicely figured forearm and straight grip, slightly perch bellied stock with a crescent buttplate.

Fine, retains 70% of the faded original blue finish, 60% of the original case colors, and 60% of the original nitre blue, with some blue touch up finish on the lower tang corresponding with the set trigger work and the balance a smooth grey patina with a few scattered patches of light pitting. The highly figured wood is very fine with some scattered minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
