The top of the barrel is marked with the two-line address and King's improvement patent dates ahead of the rear sight. The left side of the receiver at the rear has a saddle ring staple with ring. The serial number is stamped on the lower tang just behind the trigger guard. It is mounted on a smooth forearm and straight grip stock featuring a brass crescent buttplate with compartment containing the takedown cleaning rod.
