Features traditional blade and notch sights, "J H JOHNSON GREAT WESTERN/GUN WORKS PITTSBURGH, PA" on top, unmarked back action locks, double set triggers, and a checkered buttstock with German silver fittings. The Great Western Gun Works was founded in 1866.

Very fine with 85% original brown finish, fairly bright German silver, crisp checkering, and some minor edge wear and marks. Mechanically functions fine but will release both hammers at the same time if both are cocked.
