The tangs of the casehardened receiver marked "-MODEL 1886-" in one-line on the upper tang and the two-line :1884/1885" patent dates behind the set trigger and serial number on the end of lower tang. Blade front sight and a rear adjustable buckhorn sporting sight. Blue barrel, full length magazine tube and bolt, with casehardened finish on the frame and remaining metal surfaces, and mounted with a smooth walnut forearm and straight grip stock with a steel end cap and crescent buttplate.

The receiver has silvered out original case colors with the overall balance a smooth gray patina. The magazine has a smooth mottled gray and brown patina. The wood is fine with a few minor gouges and some minor handling marks.
