Manufactured in 1883 as a third model (dust cover guide rail integral to the receiver and dust cover featuring serrated finger grip on the rear). The barrel has dovetailed blade and elevation adjustable sights and is marked with the two-line address/patent dates information ahead of the rear sight and "32 WCF" at the breech. The upper tang is marked "MODEL 1873," and the cartridge elevator is marked "32 CAL." A non-factory sling swivel is attached to the underside of the buttstock and forend cap. Mounted on a smooth straight grip stock with a solid crescent buttplate.

Fine. The rifle retains 70% original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. 50% original case colors remain on the hammer and lever. 40% original niter blue finish on the loading gate. The wood is fine with a couple deep pressure marks and some minor-moderate handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
