SHEARD/LIVINGSTON MONT.". The upper tang is marked "-MODEL 1886-" and the two patent dates are marked on the lower tang directly behind the trigger and the serial number at the end. Dovetailed blade front sight and adjustable buck horn rear sporting sight.

There are several dings and dents on the magazine tube, and a few minor dings on the barrel. The receiver shows traces original faded case colors with a smooth mottled gray patina on the balance.
