Manufactured in 1893 as a third model with the integral dust cover guide rail and dust cover with serrated grasping grooves on the tail. The accompanying factory letter lists this carbine as chambered in .44 caliber and "engraved 'American Express Company', #12 to #23" when received in the warehouse on March 13, 1893, and shipped the next day with 10 other Model 1873s. The engraving listed in the letter references the American Express Co. inscription "Am. Ex. Co./22." on the left side of the frame. Other features included two-line address/patent date barrel marking, carbine sights, saddle ring on the left side of the receiver and carbine stock with trapdoor buttplate (cleaning rod not included).

Fine, retaining 40% original blue finish with the balance thinning to a brown. Traces of original nitre blue remain on the loading gate. Some patterns of original case colors remain on the hammer. The replacement wood is good with scattered dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
