Description:Manufactured circa 1881-1892 with the standard markings, a beaded round blade front sight, adjustable sporting rear sight, tapped upper tang for peep sight mounting, and smooth walnut forearm and buttstock. The forearm has some attractive burl figure.
Rating Definition:Fine as partially refinished (wood). 50% plus of the original blue finish remains, and the balance has a brown patina and some light oxidation. The revarnished wood is very good with some dings and scratches and a crack on the left side from the figure. The action functions fine, and the markings are clear..
