Manufactured in 1887. The rifle is equipped with a German silver blade front sight, elevation adjustable rear sight and 15-round magazine. The top barrel flat is marked with the two-line Hartford address/Elliot patent information ahead of the rear sight and "38 Cal." at the breech. The barrel and magazine are finished blue and the frame and crescent buttplate are casehardened. The rifle is mounted with the standard checkered forearm and special order multi-point checkered pistol grip stock with initial oval on the bottom.

Very good. The barrel and magazine tube retain 30% thinned original blue finish. The frame retains traces silvered out original case colors, otherwise a silvered out mottled gray patina with some minor pitting. The buttplate has minor oxidation. The revarnished wood is also very good with some minor pressure dents and scratches and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
