Manufactured in 1898 with special order half octagon barrel. Blade front (replacement) and elevation adjustable rear sights on a barrel marked with the two-line address and "30 WCF" on the top flat and the two-line nickel steel marking on the upper left flat. The upper tang has the two-line model/patent dates marking. The smooth straight grip stock has a crescent buttplate.

Very good. The barrel and magazine retain 25% original blue finish, otherwise the rifle has a mottled gray patina with traces of original case colors and blue finish in the protected areas. The wood is very good with a sizeable sliver missing from the forearm, couple small missing chips near the tangs and some minor-moderate dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
