Single bead sight, with "CYL" marked choke and standard two line address and patents on top of the barrel. No oval "WP" proof stamp is present on the barrel or frame. Ribbed forearm and smooth pistol grip stock with a smooth steel buttplate and a 13 3/4 inch length of pull. With a printout of a Cody Firearms Museum e-mail, indicating a 20 inch barrel, serial application on 17 May 1899, arrival at the warehouse on 20 May and shipping on the same day.

Very fine, with 80% of the original blue finish, showing areas of gray and brown patina along with scattered scratches and handling marks. An impression scratch is present on the left side of the receiver into the finish; if this was a factory machining error, it could explain the absence of the "WP" proof. Stock is fine, with a number of scratches, dents and small chips, and the buttstock showing a semi-fancy grain pattern, particularly noticeable around the toe. Mechanically excellent.
