Description:

Manufactured in 1905 with the standard two-line address/patent date and "25-20 W.C.F." on the upper left flat to accommodate the factory matting that runs the length of the barrel on top.

The left side of the lower tang has a scored out assembly number followed by "XX," and the left side of the upper tang is marked "20495 CF". The buttplate and stock under it are marked with the assembly number "12709". It is fitted with dovetailed Lyman beaded blade front, Lyman two-leaf rear, and tang mounted peep sights. Mounted with a finely figured, H-style checkered forearm and replacement pistol grip stock with a hard rubber grip cap and crescent buttplate. The included factory letter lists the serial number as applied on 24 January 1905 and that the rifle was chambered in .25-20 with a half octagon barrel, plain trigger, an oil finished checkered pistol grip stock, Lyman leaf and hunting front sights, Lyman cup disc rear sight, half magazine, takedown, matted barrel, screw eyes, and that it was sighted for smokeless powder when it was received at the warehouse on 6 February 1905 and shipped the next day to order number 260661.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retains 85% plus original blue finish, 75% original case colors, and 95% original nitre blue on the loading gate with the balance a smooth grey patina. The wood is also very fine with some scattered light dings and scratches, crisp checkering overall, and retaining almost all the varnish. Mechanically excellent.
