Antique Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle

Manufactured in 1885, this is a Third Model with the dust cover that operates on the central guide rail integrally machined as part of the receiver. Cut down globe front sight and semi-buckhorn rear sight on barrel with button magazine. The top of the barrel is marked "WINCHESTER'S- REPEATING - ARMS. NEW HAVEN. CT./ KING'S - IMPROVEMENT - PATENTED - MARCH 29. 1866. OCTOBER. 16. 1860." Serial number on the lower tang and the one line model designation on the upper tang. Smooth forearm with an iron forend cap and straight grip stock with a steel crescent buttplate with a storage compartment in the butt.

ConditionGood, with traces of the original blue finish. Much of the surface has turned a mottled brown, with original blue remaining in some of the protected areas, along with some light handling marks, dings, and spotting. The stock is very good, with some chipping around the butt and toe, moderate pressure dents and scratching, and some varnish loss. The action is excellent.
