Globe front sight (no insert) and tang peep sight with the rear sight removed (dovetail not filled). Single set trigger and checkered walnut lever grip extension.

Rating Definition:

Very good plus. The barrel retains traces of original blue finish otherwise faded to a smooth patina with light spotting overall. The receiver retains traces of original case colors in the protected areas with some light spotting. The wood is very fine with a number of minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
