cal: .22 short, lever action, barrel: 24" octagonal, sn: 456034B, includes Cody Firearms Museum document, from Mr. Davis's records: This rifle is in good condition on the outside. The barrel is not very good, the old black powder ammo took a toll on the rifling, it is pitted and worn out. The rifle is in working condition and should bring more than what I paid for it. I purchased the rifle at an auction April 16, 2016. I paid $2,000 for it. I saw one at a gun show the following day priced at $5,000 so I hope I made you some money. I have a letter from the Cody Museum in the safe which will add to the value. NOTE: no transfer fee applies Pre 1898
