It was sent in 1901 as part of a 9 gun shipment to Colt's Patent Fire-Arms Mfg Company London Agency, London England. The rifle is stamped with European acceptance stamping & proofs. The original straight grip wood stocks are excellent, with thinning finish & minor handling marks. There are tiny chips in stock at the upper corners of the wrist & the left side of the forearm displays a small repaired edge chip.

The original high polish metal blue finish rates 85% overall, with some blemishes, light scratches & speckling. The barrel & receiver have mounted with European style scope blocks, with a Ajack 1 1/2 x100 fixed power scope. The barrel holds a small blade front sight. Bore is excellent, with light intermittent spotting. Buttstock carries a Colt logo, checkered black plastic buttplate.
