Payment Types Accepted: checks, cashiers/bank check, money order Description: FASCINATING, HISTORICAL 1892 SADDLE RING CARBINE IN .44-40 CALIBER MADE 1902, MARKED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BARREL "CHINA NAVIGATION CO. LTD." this company was founded in 1816, headquartered in London and is still in the import/export shipping business today, obviously they sailed to China (Hong Kong etc.)- their history and company story is interesting and easily found by Googling their name online, has the correct three tiny British Proof Marks (one on the upper left side of the receiver and the other just next to it on the barrel and one on the top rear of the bolt), stock and forend are solid but show numerous surface handling dings and one larger in the forearm on the bottom right ahead of the receiver (as seen in the photo)- no doubt this one has been all over the world! Mostly gray barrel and mag with blue in protected areas, also gray receiver with exc. screws and good blue on the loading gate, original carbine sights including the ladder rear with slide intact, ring intact, upper tang has some rack or ship numbers stamped in just behind the hammer and the small letter "G" stamped on the top of the receiver ring, tight action with bright about exc. bore, With all this interesting verifiable history I almost kept this one for myself...I still might!
