Manufactured in 1882, this is a Third Model with the dust cover that operates on the central guide rail integrally machined as part of the receiver. Fixed blade front sight with adjustable rear buckhorn sight. The top of the barrel is marked "WINCHESTER'S- REPEATING - ARMS NEW HAVEN CT. / KING'S - IMPROVEMENT - PATENTED MARCH 29, 1866, OCTOBER 16, 1860". "38 CAL." is marked on the barrel at the action and on the brass carrier. Serial number on the lower tang and the model designation on the upper tang. Casehardened lever and hammer. Plain forearm with a steel forend cap and straight grip stock with a steel crescent buttplate with the compartment, (cleaning rod not included).

Good. All metal surfaces have a brown and gray mottled patina with some minor pitting on the receiver, dust cover and heel of the buttplate. The wood is very good with overall scattered minor dings, dents and scratches. All markings are readable. The action is fine.
