Manufactured in 1903 with the standard two-line address and patent dates, as well as the caliber marking on the top barrel flat. The upper tang is marked with the three-line model, trademark, and patent dates, and the serial number is on the bottom of the receiver. It is fitted with a German silver blade front and elevation adjustable buckhorn rear sights. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate. Provenance: The Milan J. Turk Collection

Very fine, retains 75% plus of the original blue finish, 60% of the original case colors, and 70% of the original nitre blue with the balance having thinned to a smooth grey patina, most noticeably on the buttplate, lever, and hammer. The revarnished wood is very good with some minor dings and scratches scattered throughout. Mechanically excellent.
