Manufactured in 1910 in a takedown configuration. The left side 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" on the left side of the barrel at the breech. "33 W.C.F." and 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 REG. IN U.S. PAT. OFF.". Lyman "Hunting" beaded blade front and adjustable modified buckhorn notch rear sight. Special order half magazine with takedown lever marked "JUNE 6, 1893". Blue finish with casehardened hammer and lever. Mounted with a smooth walnut forearm with steel forend cap and straight grip buttstock with a checkered hard rubber factory shotgun buttplate.

Very good. The barrel and magazine retain 60% of the faded, thin original blue finish with some muzzle wear and small area of light pitting near the front sight. The receiver is a mottled brown patina and scattered scratches and dings. The casehardened hammer and lever have a dark grey patina. The markings are clear. The reoiled wood is very good with scattered scratches, dings and pressure dents. Mechanically fine.
