Antique Winchester Model 1876 Lever Action Rifle with Factory Letter

Manufactured in 1879, the receiver is the second model configuration with the dust cover guide retained with two screws and the dust cover with the flush checkered "thumbprint" area. The included factory letter confirms the configuration, including the special order set trigger, as well as receipt at the warehouse on 24 April 1879, shipment on 11 August 1883, and the additional notation of "Consigned". The barrel is marked with the standard two-line address and King's patent marking, and the rifle correctly lacks caliber markings as the only caliber initially offered was .45-75 W.C.F. The model marking is on the upper tang and the serial number is on the lower tang. It is fitted with a German silver blade front sight, folding ladder rear sight (appears to have originally been an elevation adjustable notch, evidenced by barrel wear), and a special order set trigger. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a trapdoor crescent buttplate (cleaning rod not included). Provenance: The David L. DeLullo Jr. Collection

ConditionGood, retains strong traces of the original blue finish with the balance a mottled grey and brown patina and a few scattered patches of light spotting and dings. The magazine tube is refinished. The lightly sanded/re-oiled wood is also good with some scattered minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
