Manufactured in 1889, the standard two-line address and caliber marking are on the top barrel flat. The model designation is marked on the upper tang. The serial number and two-line patent dates are marked on the lower tang. It is fitted with a German silver blade front sight and an elevation adjustable buckhorn rear sight. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Very good, retains 20% of the original blue finish and silvered traces of the original case colors with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina and some scattered small patches of light surface pitting. The wood is also very good with a small hairline grain crack visible in the left of the wrist and some scattered minor dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
