The letters "HS" are stamped behind the serial number. Blade front sight integral with the barrel band and folding two leaf rear sight. There is a saddle ring and staple attached to the left rear of the receiver. Blue barrel and magazine tube, casehardened hammer and lever. Mounted with a nicely figured walnut forearm and straight grip stock with buttstock compartment (cleaning rod not included).
