Manufactured in 1896. The barrel has dovetailed blade front and elevation adjustable buckhorn rear sights and is marked with the two-line address followed by "38-55" on the top. The upper tang has the three-line model/patent date and the serial number is on the bottom of the receiver. Smooth forearm straight grip stock with crescent buttplate.

Fine, retains 30% plus original blue finish, the balance being a smooth grey patina. 30% original niter blue remains on the loading gate. 40% original case colors remain on the lever and hammer. The re-oiled wood is good with a few moderate divots and some minor scratches and dings. Mechanically excellent.
