The included factory letter confirms the current barrel length, gauge, finish, and weight when it was shipped to Hall & Knight of Lewiston, ME, on September 2, 1890. The gun features a single bead sight on the matted solid rib, chambers measured 2 3/4 inches with single extractor, choke constrictions of .025/.027 inches, light engraving on the casehardened action, double triggers, tang safety, and checkered walnut forend and pistol grip stock. Stock measurements: 2 inch drop at comb; 3 1/16 inch drop at heel; 14 1/8 inch length of pull; weight 7 lbs. 6 oz.

Fine overall, showing 70% strong Damascus pattern, an attractive mix of brown and grey patina on the balance of barrel. 40% original case colors remain on the receiver mostly in the protected areas, light handling evidence, moderate dings and scratches in the stock, and mostly crisp wood checkering. Mechanically excellent.
