I came across a 95% condition 1892 standard rifle with octagon barrel and full magazine in 25-20 WCF that was threaded for a Maxim Silencer. This one had a screw-on octagon muzzle cap. It was out of the letterable (900,000) range. How do you determine if this option factory original or not? I didn’t have an opportunity to take photos. I’ve seen a few rifles with barrels threaded for this, but have never seen one with the threaded octagon barrel cap. It looked like factory quality work, but I don’t know much about these to know for sure.

Are the threads blued? A picture would help.

Does the octagon screw on cap index perfectly with the barrel?
If you can’t convince them, confuse them

Yes, once tightened, the cap does index perfectly.

I wish I would have looked the threads over better. I’ll try to get the seller to send some photos–if he hasn’t sold it yet.
