The accompanying factory letter lists this Model 1899F saddle ring carbine with a 20 inch barrel in .30-30 Winchester when it was received in the warehouse on May 10, 1901, and shipped the same day to H.P. Crouse (address not given). Beaded blade and three leaf sights, saddle ring on the left side of the receiver and highly figured and fancy checkered (grade B) Schnabel forearm and straight grip stock.

Very good, retaining 30% plus original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown-gray patina. There are seven notches on the frame ahead of the trigger assembly (left side). The wood is good with a repaired wrist having a section of altered checkering, minor dings and scratches and wear in the checkering. Mechanically excellent.
