Manufactured in 1899. Dovetailed blade front and elevation adjustable rear sights on a round barrel marked with the two-line address/patent date information ahead of the rear sight and "38-55" at the breech. The upper tang is marked with the three-line model/patent date information. The serial number is stamped on the underside of the receiver. Mounted on a smooth forearm and straight grip stock fitted with a crescent buttplate.

Very fine. The rifle retains 75% original blue finish with the balance thinning to a brown. 80% original case colors remain on the hammer and lever. The wood is fine with a couple hairline cracks and some minor dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
