Manufactured in 1914 with standard markings. Fitted with pinned brass blade front and elevation adjustable notch rear sights.

The included Roe Clark letter confirms the current configuration as well as shipment on 15 July 1915 to Simmons Hardware, a large distributor in St. Louis, Missouri.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retains 90% plus original blue finish and 95% original case colors with a few small patches of brown patina isolated to the takedown collar, and the balance of the case coloring faded to a smooth grey patina. The wood is very fine with a few scattered light handling marks, a hairline crack and some light chipping visible near the upper tang, and retaining almost all the varnish.
