Neither the upper or lower tang, under the wood is assembly number marked. Accompanied by a Cody Firearms Museum letter and fact sheet which identifies this rifle in caliber 40-72 with oct bbl, plain trigger, rubber shotgun butt, received in warehouse June 5, 1900, “September 25, 1900 (written in left margin)”, shipped Sept. 27, 1900 to Order #73137.
