SN. is 72398 mfg. 1897 all is correct except rear sight,cartouche is very dim but appears to be 1897.rifle was passed to me from grand father who served in the 4th Virginia Inf. during the Spanish American war,he was a Capt. in the horse drawn artillery I also have his saddle holster.
He was an avid shooter and hunter and may have changed the sight for a newer version.I am looking for the correct sight with the "C" markings
