Manufactured in 1897. The barrel has a beaded Marble 37W front sight, elevation adjustable sight, the two-line address ahead of the rear sight, "30 W.C.F." at the breech and the two-line nickel steel marking on the upper left flat. The upper tang has the three-line model/patent marking. There are two non-factory added sight filler screws on the left side of the receiver and one on the upper tang. Mounted on a highly figured and checkered forearm and pistol grip stock with a hard rubber factory grip cap and a hard rubber factory shotgun buttplate.

Fine. The rifle retains 60% original blue finish with the balance thinning to a gray. The wood is also fine showing some minor scratches and pressure dents and some blemishes in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
