For your evaluation and comment is my Model 1886 in .50 Express.  This rifle lettered correctly with Cody as shipped o 4-15-1891 in its present configuration. Proofs indicate shipped to Great Britain and configuration suggests intended for Tiger hunting.

Looks like a nice honest and well used gun from what I can see.

Very nice Express rifle.  Certainly has the configuration favored by the British and the condition is excellent.

A lot of the large caliber guns like this were used in India and Africa for large and dangerous game.
