If a letter lists a 1894 rifle in 38-55 as having a nickel steel barrel should it say nickel steel on the barrel. Also are button or half magazines typically called out in factory letters? Thanks.

I don’t know about the nickel barrel but if the gun has a 1/2 mag it should say it on the letter if the gun came standard with a full magazines which they did.

Yes, it should be marked “NICKEL STEEL” on the barrel. Yes, a 1/2 (button) magazines should be specifically listed on a factory letter.
