Manufactured in 1881, two-line address/King's patent marking on the top barrel flat, model designation on the upper tang, "38 CAL." on the bottom of the cartridge elevator, and serial number on the lower tang. The left side of the lower tang is marked with the assembly number "R 366" and "366" is repeated in the stock inlet and on the inside of the buttplate. Fitted with dovetailed combination front, elevation adjustable notch rear, and tang mounted peep sights. Mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a trapdoor crescent buttplate (cleaning rod not included).

Fine, retains 60% original blue finish with the balance having thinned to a smooth brown patina and some scattered light rough patches primarily on the buttplate and bottom of the lever. The wood is very good with minor dings and scratches scattered throughout. Mechanically excellent.
