3rd model rifle manufactured in 1889. Round barrel with full length magazine, German silver blade front sight, and semi-buckhorn rear. Hand checkered walnut forend. Plain walnut stock with crescent rifle butt plate, the right side inlaid with a large silver Mexican coin. CONDITION: Fair. Rifle displays a freckled dove gray patina with a few traces of faded original finish. Forend has a sliver of loss along the left side and split running the length of the right side. Stock is very good as lightly cleaned with some scattered dings. Well defined frosted bore. Mechanics could use some attention.
