Manufactured in 1876-1881and shipped to well-known Denver gun dealer J.P. Lower. It features an adjustable globe front sight (post/aperture absent), Lawrence patent rear sight, double set triggers, long range tang peep sight, military style patch box, mostly standard factory markings, spurious/remarked "J.P. LOWER/DENVER COL." on top at the breech, "31133" and three script "L" markings on the bottom of the barrel, "0503" on the back side of the lock, and no number on the buttplate.

Good with traces of the fading refinished blue on the barrel, plum brown and gray patina on the balance, and some minor spotting. The front sight is loose in the dovetail. The wood is also good with a repaired crack along the right side of the forend, crack on the left at the forend tip, and general scrapes and dings. Mechanically excellent.
