Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle with Factory Letter

This Third Model 1873 Winchester Rifle features the machined dust cover guide as part of the receiver. The factory letter confirms the octagon barrel and plain trigger. The rifle was received in the warehouse on July 2, 1884 and shipped on August 4, 1884, order number 1404. The rifle has a blade front sight, elevation adjustable rear sight and full length magazine. The barrel has the two line address/patent marking and the upper tang is marked "MODEL 1873". The brass cartridge elevator has the caliber marking. Smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate featuring a compartment (cleaning rod not included).

ConditionGood. The rifle has a mixture of mottled gray patina and smooth dark brown patina with traces of the original blue finish in the protected areas. Some minor pitting is present. The wood is also good with a hairline crack near the buttplate tang, a couple gouges and numerous minor pressure dents and scratches. Mechanically fine.
