Manufactured in 1899, this is a Third Model with the dust cover that operates on the central guide rail integrally machined as part of the receiver. Fixed front sight with replaced blade, folding elevator rear 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." Caliber stamped just behind the rear sight. Serial number on the lower tang and the model designation on the upper tang. Saddle ring mounted on the left side of the receiver. Plain forearm and straight grip stock with a iron carbine buttplate and brass trap.

Rating Definition:

About good. The barrel has a mottled gray patina with light spotting and scattered surfaces scratches. The frame has a mottled gray patina mixed with spotting and some pin prick pitting. The loading gate still exhibits some original blue finish. The wood is sound with scratches and dings throughout with a few larger dings on the comb. Mechanically needs work.
