Manufactured in 1889 with standard markings. The No. 2 weight octagon barrel is fitted with a combination front sight and an elevation adjustable rear sight. It is mounted with a smooth Schnabel tip forearm with ebony insert and a straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Fine, retains 70% of the original blue finish and 60% plus of the vibrant original case colors with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina, primarily on high spots and handling areas, and the caliber marking slightly softened. The wood is very good with some scattered minor dings and chips, concentrated mostly on the forearm. Mechanically excellent.
