Manufactured between 1896 and 1916. The number "1" is marked on the bottom of the barrel under the forearm and "45" is marked on the front of the receiver. Globe front sight with no provisions for a rear sight and short range tang mounted peep sight. Smooth forearm and straight grip stock with Swiss buttplate.

Fine. The barrel retains 50% original thin blue finish with streaks of smooth plum patina. The receiver retains 60% original case colors with a smooth brownish gray patina on the balance. The lever and buttplate have a smooth silver gray patina. The wood is very good with some scattered minor dents and scratches. Crisp markings. The action is excellent.
