Manufactured in 1908.

Very good as partially refinished. The barrel and magazine tube retain 40% original blue finish concentrated mainly in the protected areas, with a smooth mottled brown patina on the balance. The loading gate assembly is an ill fitting replacement with a slight upward bow present in center. The left side of receiver retains 30% original thin blue finish with the balance an artificial smooth brown patina. The remaining parts have a smooth mottled gray patina. The wood has been lightly sanded and reoiled and remains very good with a few shallow minor gouges on the left rear of the forearm. The markings are clear and crisp. The action is fine.
