Marked "FRANK WESSON WORCHESTER. MASS./ PAT'D OCT. 25 1859 & NOV. 11 1862" on top of the barrel behind the rear sight and the serial number is marked on the rear of the trigger guard. Slotted link on the right side of the barrel, no manual extractor. Smooth straight grip stock with sling swivel, signs of removed brass tacks, and a smooth nickel plated steel buttplate.

Very good. The barrel shows strong original finish mixed with smooth plum patina. The frame retains approximately 50% of the original finish with the balance having a smooth brownish/gray patina. The trigger guard and buttplate retain approximately 97% of the nickel refinish with some minor flaking on the trigger guard and buttplate edges. The stock is good as freshened, the holes left from the approximately 40 removed brass tacks have been filled and there are round indentations from the tacks, otherwise a few minor handling marks. The markings are clear. The action is fine
