Manufactured in 1870 as a third model with the serial number stamped in block numbers behind the trigger. The carbine has a blade front sight/bayonet lug, ladder rear sight (missing bar), sling swivels, and brass buttplate with compartment (cleaning rod not included). British proofs are stamped on the barrel and receiver at the breech.

Very good plus. The barrel and magazine tube retain strong traces of original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. The fine brass receiver has an attractive untouched patina. The loading gate retains 30% original nitre blue. The wood is also very good with a repair on the forearm (left side) and some minor dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
