Manufactured in 1883 as a third model with a special order single set trigger. The barrel has German silver blade and elevation adjustable sights and is marked with the two-line address/patent date ahead of the rear sight and "38 CAL" at the breech. The upper tang is marked "MODEL 1873," and the cartridge elevator is marked "38 CAL." The straight grip stock is fitted with a crescent buttplate with trapdoor (cleaning rod not included).

Good. The barrel assembly and dust cover have an artificial mottled brown patina mixed with traces of original blue. The receiver retains 25% original blue with some very scattered minor pitting. The wood is also good showing some minor dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
