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. It is fitted with a smooth walnut forearm and straight wrist stock with a nickel plated crescent buttplate and forend cap.

Fine. The rifle displays 30% of the original blue finish along with traces of the case colors on the hammer and lever and nickel on the forend cap and buttplate. The balance has a gray patina with some brown forming, spotting, several scratches and nicks on the receiver and buttplate, and some dings on the left side of barrel near the receiver. The wood is fine with a repaired crack on the right rear of the forearm and some minor abrasions. The markings are crisp throughout, and the action is fine.
