Manufactured in 1895. Blade front and adjustable buckhorn rear sights with a full length magazine. The top of the barrel is stamped with the two line New Haven address ahead of the rear sight and "44 W.C.F." at the breech. The upper tang has the three line model and patent date marking. The serial number is stamped on the underside of the frame. Smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a steel end cap and crescent buttplate.

Fine. The rifle retains 60% plus original blue finish overall with the balance a smooth brown patina. The lever and hammer retain flashes of original case colors. There are a few small patches of light pitting. The wood is fine with a few minor pressure dents and some minor scratches. Mechanically excellent.
