Caliber is desirable .38-55. Serial number is 406325, made in 1907. The octagonal barrel is 18 ½" long. There are no factory records on this serial number range but one would assume that the barrel has been cut to this length. The facing on the front of the muzzle is perfectly square but is blued. The attachment of the magazine ring beneath the barrel is well done. The magazine extends to within 1/4" of the end of the barrel. The walnut forend 9 3/8" long.
