Manufactured in 1900 as a Third Model with integral dust cover rail and dust cover with grip serrations at the rear. The upper barrel flat has the standard two-line address/King's patent marking and the caliber marking at the breech, with the caliber marking repeated on the bottom of the cartridge elevator. The upper tang has the model designation and the lower tang is marked with the serial number. It is fitted with German silver blade front, elevation adjustable notch rear, and the upper tang is fitted with a peep sight. It's mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a trapdoor crescent buttplate (cleaning rod not included).

Rating Definition:

Fine, the rifle exudes the bravado of the American west, wearing its scars with pride. It retains 60% of the original blue finish and 20% of both the original case colors and nitre blue with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth brown-grey patina. The wood is fine with numerous light handling marks scattered throughout. Mechanically excellent.
