The rifle features a Buffington rear sight with precise windage and elevation adjustments and a fixed blade front sight fitted with the rare Model 1884 experimental front sight cover. The lock plate is marked with the standard eagle and shield motif and "US/SPRINGFIELD" ahead of the hammer. The front of the breechblock is marked "U.S./MODEL/1884". The left side of the barrel is stamped with "V/P/eagle head/P" proofs at the breech and an "A" inspection marked on top. It is mounted on an oil finished straight wrist walnut stock with a "US" marked buttplate with an empty compartment. The bottom of the stock is marked the circle script "P" behind the lower tang, and the left side has a distinct "SWP/1891" cartouche.

Very fine. The rifle retains 70% plus of the original finishes. The barrel has turned plum, and there is some light surface oxidation and scattered minor marks throughout. The stock is fine and has some mild dings, scratches, and small chips. The action functions fine, and the markings are crisp.
