Manufactured in 1893 with standard markings and the desirable early casehardened receiver. The shortened barrel is fitted with dovetailed German silver blade front and elevation adjustable notch rear sights. Mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate. The included factory letter confirms the current configuration as well as receipt at the warehouse on 14 June 1893 and shipment on 28 May, 1894. Provenance: The John Fox Collection

Fine, showing a mixture of artificial brown and smooth grey patina on the barrel, magazine, and buttplate, mostly a silvery grey patina on the receiver, hammer, and lever with faint traces of original case color patterns. The lightly sanded and revarnished wood is good with numerous minor dings and scratches, more concentrated on the right side. Mechanically excellent.
