The right side of the barrel next to the rear sight is marked " 425 STEVENS HIGH POWER / PAT. MAR. 15. 29. 1910 / NICKEL STEEL" and the left side is marked " J. STEVENS ARMS & TOOL CO. / CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS. U.S.A. CAL. 30 -30 REM." The left front of the receiver is marked "C / M". The top of the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting, side discharge, 3/4 tubular magazine and plain forearm with a steel end cap and straight grip stock with a partially checkered steel buttplate.

ConditionExcellent (with exception noted below). The rifle retains approximately 97% of the original finish with light wear on the muzzle and end of the magazine tube, thinning on the forend cap, some edge wear and minor scratches on the receiver. The buttplate has mostly a brownish patina with light pitting on the heel and toe. The wood has been freshened and remains in fine condition with some scattered minor dings and dents. All markings are crisp. The action is excellent.
