Manufactured in 1892 as a third model featuring an integral dust cover rail and a dust cover with serrated rear edge. The rifle is fitted with a dovetail blade front sight and an elevation adjustable buckhorn rear sight. The top barrel flat is stamped with the two-line address/patent dates legend ahead of the rear sight and "32 W.C.F." at the breech. "32 CAL" appears on the cartridge elevator. The upper tang is marked "MODEL 1873", and the lower tang has the serial number. The straight grip stock is fitted with a solid crescent buttplate.

Very good, retaining 30% plus original blue finish with a smooth brown patina on the balance. Traces of original nitre blue remain on the loading gate. Traces of original case colors remain on the hammer and lever. A lower tang screw is absent. The wood is also very good with a number of minor dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
