The included Cody Firearms Museum research request confirms the rifle configuration, caliber, octagon barrel and plain trigger and that is was shipped on June 13, 1900 (late shipment as gun was manufactured prior to 1898). Replacement beaded blade front sight, filler block in the rear sight slot and tang peep sight. Top barrel flat has the two line address, upper left flat has the two line nickel steel/smokeless powder marking and frame underside has the serial number. Smooth forearm and straight grip stock with forend cap and crescent buttplate.

Very good. The rifle retains 25% original blue finish with a smooth gray patina on the balance. The revarnished wood is very good with a gouge on the wrist and a number of minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
