Custom built by R. F. Sedgley, Inc. circa the 1930s. It features a globe front sight, 9 inch textured quarter dovetail rib on the rear section, a tang mounted Lyman number 103 peep sight, and a checkered pistol grip stock and forearm with sling swivels, contrasting grip cap, and a checkered steel buttplate. It is marked with "1" on the lower tang in place of the original serial number; "27" on the rear of the forearm, bottom of the barrel, front of the action, and bottom of the buttplate; and has "R. F. SEDGLEY, INC. PHILA. PA. U.S.A," "CAL 22 W.C.F./HORNET," and a circled "S" on the left side of the barrel. The butt is marked "Emit/Mc Connell/OAKRIDGE NS FEB 6-1974" under the buttplate. Includes a copy of the American Rifleman article "The Sedgley Single-Shot Hornet and .22 Long Rifle" by F. C. Ness discussing Sedgley's fine single shots.

Very fine as custom R.F. Sedgley built. 97% of the high quality custom blue finish remains. There are two small sections of brown patina on the lever and otherwise only light handling and storage marks. The wood is also very fine with some slight handling and storage marks and crisp checkering. It is mechanically excellent and has distinct markings.
