Antique Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle with Factory Letter

This included factory letter lists this standard rifle in .44 caliber with an octagon barrel and plain trigger and as received in the warehouse on August 6, 1894, and as shipped on March 13, 1895, with 299 other Model 1873s in order 8993. It has the standard markings and features but is anything but standard when it comes to its condition. It is in truly remarkable condition for a rifle over 125 years old! The Model 1873 was one of the most popular firearms of the late 19th century and generally show signed of their use, but this rifle appears to have remained nearly unfired since it left the factory.

ConditionExceptionally fine with 85% plus original blue finish with only some minor age related fading mainly on the frame, 97% of the vibrant original niter blue finish on the loading gate, 75% plus of the lightly fading original case colors, dark brown patina on the heel, and minor marks and scratches. The wood is very fine and has a few scratches and dings, minor flaking at the toe, and nearly all of the original finish. Mechanically excellent. This rifle is a great example of a standard Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle!
