.56 caliber. 36" three-stage octagon to round barrel. SN: NSN. Bright finish, brass and iron furniture, full-length walnut stock. Enfield style percussion lock marked "BARNETT/LONDON/1884" in three lines forward of the hammer and with the Hudson Bay Company's "{Tombstone Fox/EB}" trademark at the tail.

Stock with simple raised carved aprons around the tang, at the tail of the lock and at the tail of the counterpane. The initials "A.D." are weakly carved into the upper obverse corner of the butt. A solid example of a late production Barnett trade gun from the last days of freedom for Native American people on the Great Plains.
