Manufactured in 1897. The included Cody Firearms Museum Records Office request letter lists the rifle as 30 caliber with a 22 inch half octagon barrel and a plain trigger when received at the warehouse on 14 August 1900 and shipped the next day in order number 66758. The Lyman beaded blade front, two-leaf rear, and tang mounted peep sights are listed in the letter. Also listed as "extra light", accounting for the rapid taper barrel. Smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Very good, retains 20% original blue finish mostly concentrated on the barrel and magazine with the balance thinned to a smooth grey patina and a patch of light pitting on the receiver. The wood is very good with some minor dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
