This single-shot firearm is primarily constructed of blued steel with a rich brown wooden stock and fore-end, and is accompanied by a worn leathersling. The receiver is marked “E. REMINGTON & SONS. ILION. N. Y. U.S.A.” along with multiple patent dates, the latest clearly legible being September 9, 1873. The barrel bears the designation “MODELO ARGENTINO, 1879 E. N.”. An adjustable rearsight marked “WILLIAMS” is present, suggesting a potential aftermarket or replacement component.

Good antique condition. The metal components exhibit wear, scratches, and thinning of the bluing consistent with age and use. The wooden stock and fore-end show numerous dings and scratches but appear structurally sound. The leather sling is worn.
