This rifle was manufactured in 1896, the second year of production, with the desirable early flat side receiver, German silver blade front sight, sporting rear sight, and standard markings and features including "30 U.S." on top at the breech.

Very good as partially refinished (cold blue touch-ups throughout) with mostly smooth brown patina, some light oxidation, and minor marks and scratches. The reoiled wood is also very good with mild handling wear, smooth oiled finish, and mild scratches and small dents. Mechanically excellent.
