The rifle has its original brass muzzle cover, and appears to have been made in the 1889/96 configuration with the modifications of 1911. Size: 51 inches long overall, with a 31 inch barrel. Processing and shipping within the continental U.S. $65.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance. Discounts given on combined lot shipping.

Condition

Very good to excellent condition overall, with the metl retaining almost all of its original blue, and the stock showing virtually no signs of use. There is some rust on the box magazine. The bore has grease in it, but shows sharp rifling.
