This rifle was manufactured circa the late 1880s and features an octagon barrel marked with two line patent and address information ahead of the sporting rear sight and the caliber designation at the breech. The front sight is Rocky Mountain style blade. The receiver is marked with the serial number on the bottom, and the upper tang is tapped for peep sight mounting (screws absent). It has double set triggers. It is fitted with a checkered walnut forearm and semi-pistol grip stock with a nickel plated crescent buttplate and forend cap.

Good. The rifle displays 30% of the original blue finish along with traces of the case colors and nickel plating. The remaining surfaces have a brown patina and there is some overall patchy oxidation. The wood is fair as sanded with partially smoothed checkering on the forend, a crack on at the junction with the front of the frame on the right, some small gouges, and overall light scratches. The forend cap is loose due to a broken screw. The action is fine, and the markings are clear.
