Manufactured in 1914. 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.", the left rear is marked with the nickel steel/smokeless powder marking followed by "33 W.C.F." at the breech. The Winchester oval proof is marked on top of the barrel and on top of the receiver at the breech. The upper tang is marked "MODEL 1886/-WINCHESTER-/TRADE MARK REG. IN. U.S. PAT. OFF." and the serial number is on the lower tang. Lyman beaded blade front sight, adjustable rear semi-buckhorn sights, 1/2 magazine tube, finished blue with casehardened lever, and mounted with a smooth walnut forearm with steel end cap and straight grip stock with a checkered hard rubber Winchester buttplate.

Fine. The barrel and magazine tube retain 80% faded original blue finish, showing some mild muzzle wear and a small area of pin prick type pitting. The receiver has a smooth mottled gray and brown patina with traces of original blue finish which is contained in the protected areas. The lever shows much of the original dark case colors on the sides with a smooth silver gray on the balance. The wood is fine with a number of minor scratches near the butt, and overall some scattered minor dents and dings. The markings are crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent.
