3rd model manufactured in 1894 with desirable extra length 30" octagon barrel. Combination front sight and tang mounted aperture rear sight, the rear barrel dovetail filled in with a composite blank. Stocked in nicely figured walnut with steel nose cap and crescent rifle butt plate. CONDITION: Very good overall. Rifle displays an overall faded brown patina with traces of original blue visible in the protected areas along with areas of cleaned oxidation. Stocks have been cleaned, the butt plate fitting somewhat proudly. Bore displays strong, well defined rifling with some minor abrasions. Fine mechanics.
