Exceptional and Documented Winchester Deluxe Model 1887 Lever Action Shotgun with Factory Letter

Damascus barrel absent of any markings with a single brass bead sight, 2 3/4 inch chamber and improved cylinder choke. The left side of the receiver has the "WRACo" monogram. The four-line address/patent dates marking is on the lower tang. The barrel is brown Damascus, the magazine tube is blue, and the remaining metal surfaces are casehardened. Extra fancy diamond checkered walnut forearm and multi-point checkered round knob pistol grip stock with a checkered steel buttplate. The accompanying factory letter verifies the gauge, "Good Damascus" 30 inch barrel, fancy checkered stock, that it was received in the warehouse on May 16, 1892, and shipped on May 18, 1892. Length of pull is 13 inches.

ConditionExceptionally fine. The barrel retains 90% of the original brown finish with all of the Damascus pattern visible. The magazine tube retains 60% original blue finish with some thinning to a smooth gray from normal handling. The receiver retains 75% bright original case colors with a smooth silver gray on the balance. Most of the bright original case colors remain on the sides of the lever with a smooth gray patina on the balance. The wood is also excellent with nearly all of the original varnish remaining and shows some minor dents and dings. The markings are sharp. The action is excellent.
