Description:

Manufactured in 1891 with a casehardened receiver, as was standard on the Model 1886 until 1902. The standard two-line address and caliber are marked on top of the barrel. The model designation is marked on the upper tang and the two-line patent dates and serial number are on the lower tang. It is fitted with German silver blade front and elevation adjustable notch rear sights. It's mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Fine, retains 85% plus of the original blue finish with some light muzzle wear and handling marks, and 40% of the vibrant original case colors with the balance a brown speckled silver grey patina. The lightly sanded and refinished wood has a few stabilized hairline cracks in the left of the forearm and some scattered minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
