Manufactured in 1883 as a third model with integral dust cover rail and dust cover with serrated rear edge. Beach combination front and elevation adjustable rear sights, two-line address/patent dates information marked on the top barrel flat, model designation on the upper tang, serial number on the lower tang, and casehardened receiver. The straight grip stock is fitted with a trapdoor buttplate (cleaning rod not included).

Very good plus, retains 25% plus original blue finish and 20% of the muted original case colors with the balance a smooth brown patina mixed with some scattered minor oxidation. The wood is good with numerous minor handling marks throughout and a long hairline crack in the forearm (left side). Mechanically excellent. A solid representative example!
