Manufactured in 1915. This beautiful custom full nickel rifle features a striking large pattern leaf scroll with punch dot background covering both sides of the receiver with nitre blue screws. The bolt is also engraved as well as the lever, hammer, barrel breech & muzzle end (5" of leaf scroll), the last 3" of tube, barrel hanger, lower tang. The rifle butt plate is case color. Standard features are the full octagon barrel, full tube magazine, dove tail front sight, 1901 patent flat top blue rear sight, light walnut stocks. CONDITION: Excellent as custom finished. Metal retains nearly all the expertly plated finish with a small dent in tube and a couple spots of finish bubbling on barrel. All barrel legends are still crisp. Screws retains nearly all their nitre blue. The engraving is sharp. The stocks have some dings and impressions. The stock has no finish so the wood should be done to match. Strong case colors on butt plate. The bore is defined but softening with abrasions.
