Description:

Manufactured in 1891 as a third model with integral dust cover rail and dust cover with serrated rear edge. The included factory letter confirms the current configuration and "The Daisy Rifle" engraving when received in the warehouse on 26 June 1891 and shipped three days later. "THE DAISY RIFLE" is on the upper left barrel flat, and this inscription was especially done for the Sydney, Australia, dealer F. Lassetter & Co. Ltd. It has standard markings, dovetail blade front and elevation adjustable buckhorn rear sights, and is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a trapdoor buttplate containing a four-piece cleaning rod.

Rating Definition:

Fair, showing mostly a mottled grey-brown patina and some scattered light pitting. The magazine has been slightly shortened and the left forearm cap screw is absent. The refinished wood is also fair with minor handling marks throughout, a few minor cracks, and a few filled holes and repairs in the buttstock. Mechanically excellent.
