Description:

Produced in 1886. Windage adjustable globe front sight and semi-buckhorn rear sight, with a mid-range folding peep sight on the upper tang. The barrel is marked with the two line address on the top flat between the sights, and the caliber marking towards the breech, with the weight marking "3" on the underside ahead of the forearm. Casehardened receiver, with standard pattern action lever and a single set screw adjustable trigger. Checkered fancy walnut pistol grip stock, with contrasting ebony inserts on the Schnabel tip and grip, a threaded mounting point for a palm rest on the forearm, shadow line cheekpiece and a nickel finished brass Swiss pattern buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as partially restored (barrel and wood), with 98% of the rust finish, showing some minor edge wear along the high edges, light spotting, and 70% bright case colors on the receiver. The professionally restored stock and forearm are very fine, with exception of a few cracks in the butt and attractive grain. Mechanically excellent.
