Manufactured from 1892-1899. The Damascus barrel features a single bead sight and is marked with the two line address/patent dates ending with "REISSUE 10555".

Very good. The shotgun has a smooth gray patina with the barrel retaining 80% of the Damascus pattern, the receiver retaining traces of blue in the protected areas and the magazine tube and forend cap retaining 85% original blue finish. The wood is fine with a number of minor handling marks and a surface chip missing near the toe. The pistol grip has a small chip of hard rubber missing and worn checkering. The buttplate has a missing chip near the toe. Mechanically fine.
