Manufactured in 1907. The top of the barrel ahead of the rear sight is marked "MANUFACTURED BY THE WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO./NEW HAVEN, CONN. U.S.A. PAT. OCT. 14, 1884. JAN. 20 1885." with "-NICKEL STEEL BARREL-/ESPECIALLY FOR SMOKELESS POWDER" and "33 W.C.F." on the left side of the barrel at the breech. The Winchester proofmarks are on the barrel and the receiver at the breech. The two-line "1884" and "1885" patent marking is marked directly behind the trigger and the serial number marked behind the lever. The upper tang is marked "MODEL 1886/-WINCHESTER-/TRADE MARK". Blade front and adjustable buckhorn rear sights. Full magazine with the June 6, 1893 patent date on the takedown lever, blue finish with casehardened hammer and lever, and mounted with a smooth walnut forearm with steel forend cap and straight grip buttstock with a checkered hard rubber shotgun buttplate. The included factory letter confirms the rifle configuration, caliber, round barrel, plain trigger, full magazine, shotgun rubber buttplate, and takedown configuration. The rifle was received in the warehouse on May 01, 1909 and shipped on October 28, 1909, order number 232155B.

Very good. The rifle retains 25% of the original blue finish with some thinning on the barrels and magazine. The frame's blue finish has thinned to a smooth gray patina. The casehardened components have mixed to a mottled brown patina. The forearm cap has some brown speckling. The wood is also very good with some scattered scratches and dings and a few gouges on the left side of the stock and forearm near the end cap.
