Bottom of rifle is stamped “E.R.P.”. The barrel flats have the eagle stamped proof marks. One of the proof marks designates a new proof after repair, one proof mark represents semi-smokeless proof. The frame exhibits light engraving and is basically brown patina. Walnut stock has a round knob, with checkering and finish added. Metal bullet trap at bottom of stock. Sling swivels. Lock up is tight with no wiggle. Rifle bore has strong rifling but some minor corrosion. Has a serrated horn buttplate with a ½” crack, a 3” crack at right wrist.
