Manufactured c. 1868-1888, with around 12,000 produced. The top barrel flat is marked with the one-line E. Remington & Sons address, while the six-line patent date marking is on the left of the frame. The full serial number is marked on the lower tang, bottom of the barrel, rear face of the forearm, front face of the buttstock, and inside the buttplate. The left side of the upper and lower tang are marked "1009". The bottom of the barrel in front of the forearm has the "38" caliber marking. It is fitted with a copper blade front sight and an elevation adjustable notch rear sight. It is mounted with a finely figured, smooth, Schnabel tip forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Very good, retains 70% of the original blue finish and 75% of the original case colors with the balance mostly a smooth grey patina, primarily on edges and handling areas. The re-varnished wood is fine with a few scattered light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
