Description:

The rifle was manufactured in 1882 and has a the Third Model integral dust cover rail and dust cover serrations on the tail. The Third Model variation is generally found after serial number 30000 making this among the very first to leave the factory. It also has no visible caliber markings on the barrel or the cartridge elevator even though these markings were standard after around 1879 when calibers other than .45-75 were introduced to the line. Other than this deviation, the rifle has the standard markings. It is equipped with a German silver blade front sight and a replacement notch and folding ladder rear sight from a Model 1886. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight wrist stock with empty trapdoor compartment.

Rating Definition:

Fine as partially refinished (wood). 30% of the original blue finish remains with a blend of varnish, oxidation, gray and brown patina, and light pitting on the balance. There are trace of original case colors on the hammer and lever. The sanded and refinished wood is fine with some small dings and light scratches. The action function fine. The markings are clear.
