This example is a small lightweight takedown rifle which used an improved Martini action chambered in the small ''Rook'' caliber. It makes an ideal rifle for small game hunting & target shooting.

The original checkered straight grip wood stock with ebony forend tip is excellent, having been professionally refinished. There are minor contusions & handling marks to the finish. The original metal blue finish rates 90% overall, with intermittent spotting & speckling toned to a brown patina. The receiver displays ornamental scroll & accent engraving. Bore is good & bright, with intermittent pitting amongst proud rifling. The matted rib holds a two-tier folding leaf rear sight & blade front sight.
