The barrel is clearly marked Iver Johnson’s Arms & Cycle Works, Fitchburg, Mass. U.S.A., and features patent dates spanning from 1886 to1893.

The trigger and action are tight and function properly. Please see photos for overall condition. From Donley’s Wild West Town Museum. Overall length: 8.5” S/N: 10135. C/R Eligible
