Manufactured in 1910, this is a very scarce trapper's carbine with a factory original 15 inch barrel. These short barreled carbines remained popular on the frontier well into the 20th century due to their very portable firepower. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms lists this carbine by serial number as being removed from the purview of the National Firearms Act and classified as a curio and relic. These guns would have been highly prized by western ranchers and cowboys for their portability and firepower, as well as by trappers, as the nickname would imply. It has standard markings, including Winchester factory oval proofs on the barrel and receiver at the breech. It is fitted with pinned blade front and folding ladder rear sights, and a saddle ring on the left of the receiver. It's mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a carbine buttplate. There are a series of "kill" notches cut in the bottom of the forearm.

Very good, retains 30% of the original blue finish with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina and some scattered minor dings throughout, typical of these hard worked carbines. The refinished wood is good with a crack in both sides of the forearm and wrist, and numerous minor dings scattered throughout. Mechanically excellent.
