Remington Lee Model 1885 U.S. Navy Contract Bolt Action Rifle

Serial #50802, Navy #1723, 45-70 Govt, 32 1/2” barrel with a bright near excellent bore showing spots of faint oxidation and strong rifling.
The receiver ring is marked ''U.S.N. / (anchor) / No 1723 / W.W.K.'', the initials of the inspector, Lt. W.W. Kimball; all metal markings remain legible and are mostly crisp with the patent date having softened slightly from the years. The rifle is sighted with a block barleycorn front, and the correct “R L” marked rear sight.
the action appears to function properly mechanically.
A somewhat salty, but honest Remington Lee for the budding collector of U.S. martial arms.
