Manufactured in 1900.

The serial number is located on the lower tang. Folding breech combination globe front, adjustable rear sights, and equipped with a short range tang mounted peep sight.

Rating Definition:

Fine as partially refinished (receiver and wood). The balance of rifle retains 70% original blue finish with edge wear and areas thinning to a plum blue. The hammer retains much of the darkened original case colors. The refinished wood is very good. The double line bordering on the non-factory replacement forearm has been recut and overall there are a few minor dings and handling marks. The markings are sharp. The action is fine.
