Produced in 1890, and chambered for the 45-70 cartridge, the rifle has a blade front sight and adjustable notch rear sight on the barrel with the two line Winchester address and caliber markings. Casehardened receiver, with patent dates behind the trigger and one line "-MODEL 1886-" marking on the upper tang. Smooth straight grip stock, with a metal forearm cap and slightly oversized checkered butt.

Fair. Most of the surface has turned a mixed brown patina, with blue visible chiefly in the protected areas, a light gray along the high edges and scattered dings. The frame shows a silver patina in the lower areas and along the high edges, having turned brown overall. Stock is fair as repaired, with mending and a green tint at the wrist, small areas of fill, and scattered pressure dents. Mechanically very good.
