Manufactured in 1882. I don't think the butt stock is original, certainly the butt plate is not. The top tang is well above the stock and the trigger plate is above the rest of the metal. This could just be screws that are not tightened down. It has the later modifications that were done to the hammer guns.
If the barrels are sound, and a few issues taken care of, it looks like a nice gun to shoot with low pressure loads. Have a competent vintage gunsmith look it over.
