Manufactured in 1884 as a Third Model with integral dust cover rail and dust cover with serrations at the rear. Two-line address/patent marking in between the sights, "CAL 45-60" at the breech, "45-60" on the bottom of the cartridge elevator, and model designation on the upper tang. Fitted with German silver dovetailed blade front and folding ladder rear sights. Mounted with a smooth forearm and nicely figured straight grip stock with a trapdoor crescent buttplate (cleaning rod not included).

Very fine, retains 70% plus original blue finish, traces of original case colors, and 50% original nitre blue on the loading gate with the balance having thinned to a smooth brown-grey patina. The wood is also very fine with casual wear from age. Mechanically excellent.
