Description:

Manufactured in 1891 as a Third Model with integral dust cover rail and dust cover with serrated rear edge. The included factory letter confirms the current configuration and "The Daisy Rifle" engraving when received in the warehouse on 13 November 1891 and shipped on 30 November 1891 to order number 14426. "THE DAISY RIFLE" is on the upper left barrel flat, and this inscription was especially done for the Sydney, Australia, dealer F. Lassetter & Co. Ltd. It has standard markings, German silver blade front and elevation adjustable buckhorn rear sights, and is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate. Provenance: The John Fox Collection

Rating Definition:

Good, showing mostly a smooth grey patina with some scattered patches of light pitting and crisp markings including the desirable factory "Daisy" inscription. The rifle generally shows the signs of typical hard use in the unforgiving climate of the Australian outback. The lightly sanded and reoiled wood is fine with some minor dings and scratches scattered throughout, and some color variation in the buttstock. Mechanically excellent.
