Manufactured in 1901. The accompanying factory letter lists this rifle with an octagon barrel in .30 caliber and plain trigger when received in the warehouse on April 12, 1901, and shipped the next day. The top barrel flat is marked with the two-line address, the left rear is marked with the two line nickel steel marking, and the top flat at the breech is marked "30 W.C.F." Folding globe front sight, three leaf rear and short range tang mounted Lyman peep sight. Blue finish with casehardened hammer, lever and buttplate. Mounted with a smooth walnut forearm and straight grip stock with a steel end cap and crescent buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Exceptionally fine. The rifle retains 85% plus bright original blue finish with some minor thinning, flaking on the receiver and some scattered minor spotting. The lever and hammer retain 60% original case colors with the balance having a smooth brownish patina. The buttplate has a smooth gray patina. The wood is very fine with a few minor dents. The markings remain crisp and clear. The action is excellent.
