The included factory letter lists the rifle in .30 caliber with a round barrel, plain trigger, takedown, half magazine, extra light, plain pistol grip stock (does not mention checkering), and shotgun butt with rubber buttplate when received at the warehouse on 28 September 1898 and shipped the same day. It also lists a repaired and returned date of 3 July 1900. The left side of the lower tang is marked "6077 RB CF" and the stock inlet is marked "6077". Fitted with raised Lyman beaded blade front, three-leaf rear, and tang mounted peep sights. Mounted with a checkered forearm and pistol grip stock with a hard rubber grip cap and hard rubber shotgun buttplate.

Fine, retains 50% original blue finish and 40% of the original case colors with the balance a smooth grey patina. The refinished wood is very good with minor dings and scratches scattered throughout, a visible replaced/repaired section in the toe, and mostly well-defined post-factory checkering. Mechanically excellent.
