The frame was manufactured in 1887. It was built into a custom rifle by famed California gunsmith A.H. Pachmayr of Los Angeles and is so stamped on barrel. Pachmayr was famous in the 1920's for his custom rifles. We cannot find the caliber markings, but the bore measures out at .30 and would need a chamber cast to accurately determine.
