AUG. 21, 1894" and the serial number is on the front underside of the receiver. Dovetailed blade front and adjustable buck horn rear sights. Full length magazine tube, blue finish with casehardened hammer, lever, forend cap and buttplate. Mounted with a smooth walnut forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate. The accompanying Cody Firearms Museum Records Office sheet verifies the rifle configuration, caliber, octagon barrel, plain trigger, the serial number was applied on 2-2-1903 and the rifle was shipped to order number 187279 on July 1, 1903.

Fine. The rifle retains 60% thin original blue finish with edge wear and some areas of smooth gray patina. The hammer retains most of the original faded case colors, and the lever, forend cap and buttplate have a mottled gray patina with some minor spotting on the buttplate and flashes of original case colors in protected areas. The wood is good with a hole on the belly of the stock where a sling swivel has been removed, and overall scattered minor dents, dings and scratches. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
