Manufactured in 1891. The top of the barrel ahead of the rear sight is marked with the two-line address and "40-65/W.C.F." at the breech. The upper tang is marked "-MODEL 1886-", and the serial number is on the lower tang. Pinned blade front sight and folding ladder rear sight graduated to "9" (900 yards) and marked "1886". Half length magazine tube, saddle ring and stud on the left rear of the receiver, blue barrel, barrel bands, saddle ring, stud and magazine tube, casehardened remaining parts and mounted with a smooth walnut forearm and straight grip stock with a carbine buttplate.

The wood is good with numerous dents, dings and scratches on the stock and a couple of small gouges and a few minor dings on the forearm. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
