According to the factory Cody Museum letter dated March 19, 1992, the rifle was received on June 13, 1892, and shipped three days later with five other firearms as part of order number 24324. The letter confirms the feature's present on rifle including the seven leaf express rear sights and the single set trigger. The express sights are very rare and were most common on rifles destined for Africa. The Beach front sight has been replaced by a German silver blade. It is fitted a checkered fancy grade forearm and semi-pistol grip stock with ebony grip insert and blued forend cap, and casehardened buttplate with a compartment (empty).

Very fine as professionally restored. The rifle retains most of the custom applied blue finish and case colors with some light edge and handling wear. The wood is also very fine and has crisp checkering, attractive figure, a few small dings, and a couple miniscule chips. The set screw for the trigger is absent, but the action is otherwise fine. The markings are crisp.
