I have one (marked 1886 on the stock) which had fired approximately 100 rounds when a family member, who had borrowed it for a match, loaded a double charge of Unique behind a 500 and wrecked it. I have another (1884) which is decent but not great but which I can use to fix up the wrecked one. I also have a H&R replica Officers Model which is one of the nicest rifles to carry that I have. GD
Wow. I'd be sad to see an original artifact get damaged. Im soory to see that. Your H&R officers model sounds really nice, kinda in the vein of an Sharps hunters carbine model.
