The lack of proof/bore markings on the bottom of the barrel and lack of proofs indicates the rifle was manufactured before 1891. The barrel has no visible markings and is equipped with a modern Redfield globe front sight and a removable and adjustable leaf, German style rear sight. The receiver has leaf and floral engraving, stags on the sides, a base for a peep sight, and double set triggers. The forend is checkered and has a carved dog with glass eyes on the tip and shell patterns at the rear. The buttstock has a hooked buttplate, checkering with floral borders, and a fairly large Swiss style cheekpiece. The consignor's notes indicate it is pictured in "Old German Target Arms."
