The included factory letter confirms the caliber, checkered pistol grip stock, and January 21, 1903 date of shipment. Lyman beaded blade front and elevation adjustable rear notch sights, third style barrel inscription, "22 W.R.F." caliber marking on top barrel flat at the breech, Second Model receiver with hidden locking lugs, "WRF" marking on front of receiver, and flip up Lyman peep sight on the upper tang. Nicely figured XX fancy walnut 12 groove slide handle and checkered pistol grip stock with Winchester hard rubber grip cap, and casehardened steel crescent buttplate. The lower tang is marked "16070 XX" with non-matching assembly number "13745" on the end of the buttstock and inside of the buttplate.

Very fine with 85% original blue finish, edge wear and small dings on the barrel, light surface scratches and mild spotting visible on the receiver, and some light cycling wear. The wood is also very fine with most of the original varnish, scattered small dings and scratches, crisp checkering, attractive figure, and mostly faded original case colors on the buttplate. Mechanically excellent.
