Description:

This Third Model 1873 was manufactured in 1885 and has the standard Winchester markings, a German silver blade front sight, adjustable sporting rear sights, and smooth stock and forearm with standard rifle buttplate. The Model 1873 is one of the most iconic Winchester firearms and is considered by many to be the gun that won the West.

Rating Definition:

Fine. 30% of the original blue finish remains with a brown patina on the balance, some spotting, and small patches of light pitting. The wood is also fine with mild scratches and dings. The markings are crisp throughout. The action functions fine. this is a solid representative example of a Winchester Model 1873 44-40 rifle!
