Third Model manufactured in 1887. The top of the barrel ahead of the rear sight is marked with the two line address/King's improvement patent dates and "45-60 W.C.F." at the breech. The upper tang is marked "{MODEL 1876.}". The serial number is on the lower tang and the bottom of the cartridge elevator is marked "45-60". German silver blade front sight and adjustable folding ladder rear sight graduated to 1,000 yards, blue finish with casehardened hammer, lever, forend cap and buttplate, and mounted with a smooth walnut forearm with a iron forend cap and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate and compartment, (cleaning rod not included).

Good. The metal surfaces have a mottled brown patina with some scattered minor spotting on the barrel and lever. The wood is also good with a small minor gouge on the right wrist and overall some scattered minor dents, dings and scratches. The markings remain crisp and clear. The action is fine.
