This carbine features a high polish blue finish and front barrel band with dovetailed front sight set into band. The rear sight is a folding leaf military type. The left side of frame is stamped "45-70". The Remington three line legend is stamped on top of rear frame. The stock is walnut. The buttplate has a trap door. Comes with factory swivels. CONDITION: Excellent. The frame, barrel and tube retain over 97% bright blue, virtually no muzzle wear, just some minor age freckles, and a few tiny handling marks. The stock is superb with just minor impressions. The trigger guard and front barrel band retain nearly all their factory blue. The hammer screw still retains all the peacock blue with traces of case color. The butt plate and forearm cap have patterned grey. The bore is bright. This is one of the finest, all original, Keene carbines this writer has ever seen in over forty years.
