Manufactured in 1899 with standard markings. The included factory letter lists the rifle in .30 caliber with a 26 inch barrel, fancy checkered walnut stock, a hard rubber shotgun buttplate, and oil finish when received at the warehouse on 4 October 1899 and shipped the same day. Fitted with pinned beaded blade front, filler rear, and receiver mounted Lyman peep sight. Mounted with a finely figured checkered forearm with ebony tip insert, "WAE" carved in the bottom, and straight grip stock with checkered hard rubber shotgun buttplate.

Fine, retains 50% original blue finish, primarily on the barrel with the balance thinned to a grey or brown patina. The wood is fine with some minor dings and scratches scattered throughout and mostly well-defined checkering. Mechanically excellent.
