Manufactured in 1896. The no. 3 barrel has the two line address ahead of the rear sight slot and "32-40" at the breech. Lyman front sight, filler block in the rear dovetail slot and tang peep sight. Smooth forearm with ebony insert and smooth straight grip stock with crescent buttplate. The left side of the forearm is stamped "GEORGE W. COOK". A simple internet search discovered a George Washington Cook (November 10, 1851 - December 18, 1916) who was a U.S. Representative from Colorado. More research should be done on the aforementioned individual to determine if he was the original owner of this rifle.
