Manufactured in 1909. The included ATF letter confirms the receivers year of manufacture as 1909, and the short 15 inch barrel as factory fitted and goes on to confirm the piece as a curio & relic and not subject to NFA guidelines regarding barrel length. Fitted with a fixed German silver blade front and a folding ladder style rear sight with elevator and fixed notch, standard markings, saddle ring mounted to the left side of the receiver, and a smooth steel buttplate. Mounted with a carbine forearm with barrel band and smooth straight grip stock.

Poor. Displaying mostly artificial brown/gray patina and cleaning/buffing/vise marks on the barrel and receiver. The buffed markings are legible. The revarnished wood is fair with a 3 inch thin crack at the left side of the wrist. The buttplate shows some rough spotting and evidence of cleaning. Mechanically very good.
