Special Order Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle

This Winchester Model 1873 was manufactured in 1881 and has casehardened frame, a German silver blade front sight, adjustable sporting rear sight, smooth walnut forearm and special order style straight wrist buttstock with shotgun style steel buttplate. No factory letter Is available to writer at time of description, but there is little doubt as to authenticity of these features It has the standard markings.

ConditionVery good plus. The rifle retains 25% of the original blue finish and 20% of the original case colors, which are contained to the protected areas under the lever. The balance has primarily a brown patina. There is some light oxidation. The magazine tube cap is absent and a wooden rod has been put in its place. The wood is fine. There are a few cracks including one on the left side of the wrist, light scratches, and some bruising. The action is excellent, and the markings are clear. This looks like it just came out of an attic!
