This is a good example of a standard Winchester 1886 lever action rifle produced in the big 45-90 cartridge. It has the standard two line barrel markings of "---MANUFACTURED BY THE -----, /----WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO. NEW HAVEN CONN. U.S.A.-----". The tang has the early markings of "----MODEL 1886----" with the two line patent dates on the lower tang directly behind the trigger. The barrel has the half German silver blade front sight with a replacement rear adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight. It has a walnut straight grip stock with a crescent butt plate and a walnut forend. Originally the rifle had the all blued finish with the color case hardened receiver, loading lever, forend cap and butt plate.

Fine overall with the barrel and magazine tube having 50% of an old touch up blued finish that has minor small pits and light corrosion areas overall. The receiver also show minor pits on the side with only traces of any case colors in the very protected areas. The markings are clear and the serial number on the lower tang has been worn off. The stock and forend are both in very good condition showing minor handling marks, light pressure dents and dings from actual use on the range. A good original example of an early production Winchester 1886 in the large 45-90 caliber.
