Casehardened frame, with the one line "-Model 1886-" marking on the upper tang and two line patent dates on the lower tang. Smooth straight grip stock with a metal forearm cap and a smooth butt. Adjustable ladder rear sight. Two line Winchester address on the barrel with patent dates behind the trigger and " Model 1886" marking on the upper tang. Smooth straight grip stock, with a metal forearm cap and a crescent steel buttplate with a recurve at the toe.

Rating Definition:

Good, with traces of the original blue in the lower areas. Most of the surface has turned a dark brown patina, with a bright gray along the edges, dings on the magazine tube, and scattered light spotting and handling marks. The rear sight base is cracked on the left side at the hinge. The frame has darkened, with a lighter silvered color on the left side and in the protected areas. The wood is revarnished with a few areas of filler, a mended crack on the right side of the forearm and minor pressure dents overall. Mechanically very good.
