Description:

The included factory letter confirms the serial number, caliber, sights, and April 12, 1907 date of shipment. The letter also states an inscription on the left side of the receiver of "George Churchill", the correct original factory inscription present on the receiver is "John Churchill" this is obviously some type of error in the factory records. Lyman beaded blade front and elevation adjustable sporting notch rear sights, standard barrel markings and Winchester "WP" proofs on the barrel and receiver at the breech, and matching numbers on the receiver and trigger guard tang. Short twelve groove slide handle and checkered pistol grip stock (letter lists stock as "Plain, Pistol grip stock"), and crescent steel buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Fine with 70% original blue finish areas of high point and edge wear, surface scratches, and areas of a mottled brown patina throughout. The wood is fine and period non-factory checkered with small dings throughout, and dark patina on the buttplate. Mechanically excellent.
