Manufactured in 1888, just one year after the introduction of the Large Frame Lightning rifles and the .38-56 Winchester cartridge. The latter is best suited to black bear and small game unlike the larger "Express" calibers of the Large Frame line. This example has a Marble's "improved" peep/bead front sight, standard adjustable sporting rear sight, the two-line address and patent marking on top of the barrel, "38-56-255" on the left at the breech, the Rampant Colt trademark on the left side of the frame, a multi-point checkered forearm, smooth stock, and rifle buttplate.
