British Proofed Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle with R.B. Rodda London/Calcutta Retailer Marking

Third Model manufactured in 1882. The top of the barrel is marked with the two-line address/King's Improvement dates ahead of the rear sight. The upper left rear of the barrel is marked with a "crown/GP", "crown/V" and an unrecognizable British proofmark. The top of the receiver at the breech is marked with a "crown/V", proof and the left side plate is engraved "R B RODDA & CO LONDON,/& 7 & 8 DALHOUSIE SQUARE/CALCUTTA". The upper tang is marked "MODEL 1873" flanked foliate designs, and the serial number is on the lower tang. Dovetailed blade front and adjustable rear buckhorn sporting sights. Blue finish with casehardened hammer, lever and buttplate and mounted with a smooth oil finished walnut forearm with steel end cap and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate with compartment, (cleaning rod not included).

ConditionVery good. The rifle retains 25% original blue finish with edge wear, some scattered thinning and some minor spotting. The hammer, lever and buttplate have a smooth mottled gray patina. The reoiled, lightly sanded wood is fair with a few scattered minor dents and dings. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
