Manufactured circa 1881. 28" round barrel chambered in .45-60 with dovetail blade front sight and "1876" marked ladder rear sight. Blued open top receiver, a very unusual feature on a rifle of this later vintage. Plain varnished stocks with steel nose cap and crescent rifle butt plate. CONDITION: Good. Significant portions of reapplied blued finish are retained, thinning to gray brown patina with some spots of cleaned oxidation. Stocks are very good with some scattered impressions and a coat of added finish. Strong, well defined rifling, some mild black powder oxidation present. Fine mechanics.
