It looks like my Army/Navy. I would almost have to have both in hand to see what differences there is.
I have shot a few deer and bears with mine. Very fine front bead, so I have trouble in the thick woods near dark. But, it will consistently shoot 1 1/4" groups.
A neat old hunting rifle.

Looks just like my George Gibbs except that my rifle has a receiver aperture sight. Great handling rifle in a wonderful cartridge. I took a 7-point whitetail at 100 yards last year. Good luck with your sale
