Description:

This rifle was manufactured in 1908 and has the following special order features: single set trigger, long range peep sight, and nickel plated Swiss buttplate. The #3 weight barrel has a blade front sight, added (non-factory installed) scope bases, and a rear dovetail filler block. The markings are mostly standard throughout, but there is a gap between the first two digits of the serial number. The left side of the lower tang, the buttplate, and the upper tang stock inlet are not numbered.

Rating Definition:

Fine. 60% of the original blue finish remain. The faded areas display dark brown patina, and there is some light oxidation scattered throughout. The buttplate retains 85% of the original nickel and has an aged patina on the exposed brass. The peep sight is bent near the base. The wood is fine and has scattered marks and scratches throughout. The wrist has a crack on the left side. The action and set trigger function fine, and the markings are clear.
