Manufactured in 1888. Blade front sight and buckhorn rear sight on a number 2 barrel marked with the two line address and "CAL "38-55" on the top flat. Serial number and patent date on the lower tang. Blue barrel with the rest of the metal surfaces casehardened. Mounted on a plain Schnabel forearm with ebony insert and straight grip stock with crescent buttplate.

Good. The barrel has a smooth dark brown patina with gray on the high edges. The rest of the metal surfaces have a mix between a mottled brown and smooth brown patina. There are some moderate gouges and a few minor gashes, otherwise the period re-oiled wood is very good with some minor dings and scratches. Mechanically fine.
