Manufactured in 1903.The rifle is fitted with dovetailed Lyman beaded blade front and elevation adjustable rear sights. The top barrel flat is marked with the two-line address/Oct. 14, 1894, patent date information ahead of the rear sight and "25-20 W.C.F." at the breech. The upper tang has the three-line model/Oct. 14, 1894, patent date marking. The serial number is stamped on the underside of the frame.

Very fine. The rifle retains 75% original blue finish showing thinning to a brown on the balance. There are a few patches of minor pitting on the bolt and buttplate. 30% of original case colors remain on the hammer and lever. The wood is also very fine with some-moderate minor pressure dents and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
