The right side of the buttstock bears a distinct cartouche reading “J.S.A.” over “1899”, and a faint circular “P” proof mark is visible on the underside of the wrist. It is fitted with an adjustable rear sight, a front sight with protective ears, and includes a period-style brown leather sling with brass fittings.

Good overall condition. The blued steel components retain a well-maintained finish with minor wear and handling marks. The dark stained wood stock shows minor wear and handling marks commensurate with its age. The \"J.S.A. 1899\" cartouche is distinct, and the circular \"P\" proof mark is faint but visible. The period-style leather sling shows age-appropriate wear.
