The frame on this rifle is dated 1886 with "VR (Crown) IVL" legend. Left side of barrel stamped "NEP". There are numerous proofs on both sides of barrel breech and frame. Right side of stock has the "MADRAS ARSENAL 1908" stamp with numerous others. Features a blue finish, two barrel bands, metal ramrod, small blade on ramp front sight, military ladder rear sight, walnut stock and forearm, swivels, and long tail. Comes with a British proofed Wilkerson 1893 dated bayonet with sheath. CONDITION: Very good. Metal finish is a smooth homogenous blue brown patina. Stock shows usual dings but still very nice. Bore is almost bright. This is a real clean example.
