Third Model manufactured in 1883 with the guide rail integrally machined as part of the receiver. Full magazine with a dovetailed blade front sight and semi-buckhorn 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." in two lines ahead of the rear sight and the caliber designation is marked on the top flat just ahead of the receiver. "32 CAL" is marked on the bottom of the brass elevator. The upper tang is marked "MODEL 1873" with floral brackets and the serial number is marked on the lower tang. Smooth forearm with a iron end cap and straight grip stock with a smooth crescent buttplate.

Fine. Approximately 50% of the original blue finish remains with a pleasing brown/ gray patina developing on the balance of metal surfaces. The rifle has some areas of light pin-prick pitting with some light dings and surface scratches. The lever and hammer show a gray patina with some spotting. The wood is also fine with scratches and pressure dents overall. All of the markings are clear. The action is fine.
