Very good wood has a great fit and has an unusual zigzag S-shaped marking on the right side of the stock. Correct buttplate, three swivels and cleaning rod. All metal markings are very good. Stock cartouches visible but not legible. The lockplate is also dated 1873. Excellent mechanics. 228,XXX serial range. A very nice rifle overall!
