According to the included factory letter, this rifle was numbered in December of 1905, arrived at the warehouse in January of 1908 and left in February of the same year, equipped with a 44 caliber octagon barrel, Beach front and seven-leaf express rear sights, a set trigger and a set of sling screw eyes. The barrel is fitted with the gilt Beach combination sight, with six folding leaves numbered "1" through "6", and a folding ladder sight graduated from "7" to "10". The receiver has the standard markings, with the screw-adjustable double-set trigger. Smooth straight wrist stock, with holes for screw eyes on the forearm tip and toe line, and a smooth carbine buttplate with no trapdoor compartment.

Very good as refinished, showing most of the period dull refurbished blue, with bright edge wear and scattered spotting and handling marks. A number of dents and pits are visible on the left side of the barrel and magazine near the muzzle. The revarnished stock is very good, with the sling eyes removed, varnish loss and mild dents and dings. Mechanically excellent.
