This rifle has the later style serial number marking between the trigger and lever latch but an earlier model style frame with more pronounced drop at the hammer. "466" is marked in the stock recess below the upper tang and inside of the buttplate toe. The rifle was manufactured in 1869 and has the Henry and King's improvement patent markings on top of the barrel ahead of the rear sight. It is equipped with dovetailed blade front and folding ladder rear sights, a smooth walnut stock and forearm, and a leather sling. The brass buttplate has a compartment which contains one part of the multi-piece cleaning rod.

Good as partially refinished and remarked (barrel and address). The brass has an attractive aged patina along with some small nicks and light scratches. The iron components have a brown patina along with patches of mild pitting and oxidation. The wood is fine with numerous light scratches, gouges/dents, and small chips. The action functions fine, and the markings are mostly legible. The sling is fair with some moderate cracking, small tears, and general mild wear.
