Manufactured in 1896. Standard two-line address and "45-90 W.C.F." on the top barrel flat, model designation on the upper tang, two-line patent marking and serial number on the lower tang, and 1893 patent date on the takedown lever. Fitted with dovetailed German silver blade front and elevation adjustable buckhorn rear sights. Mounted with a nicely figured smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Fine showing 60% plus original blue overall. There is a large patch of deep pitting visible on top center of the barrel, thinning of the finish in some places, and attractive aged patina overall. The attractive wood is also fine with some scattered dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
