Manufactured in 1899. The top flat of the number 3 barrel is marked the two line address ahead of the rear sight and "38 W.C.F." at the breech and is fitted with a blade front sight and an elevation adjustable rear sight. The lower tang has the patent date and the serial number. Straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate and forearm with an ebony tip inlay.

Good. The rifle has a mottled brown-gray patina with some very scattered minor spotting. The upper tang has a replacement screw and a filled hole. The wood is fine with a small hairline crack near the upper tang, a large surface chip missing from the forearm and some minor handling marks. Mechanically fine.
