Manufactured in 1906. The top of the barrel is stamped with the two-line address/patent dates marking ahead of the rear sight and "45-70" at the breech. The Winchester factory oval proof is stamped on the barrel and receiver. The upper tang is marked with the three-line model/trademark information. The left side of the receiver has a saddle ring. It is fitted with a pinned beaded blade front and folding ladder rear sights. Mounted on a smooth straight grip stock.

Fine. The carbine retains 50% plus original blue finish mostly on the barrel and magazine tube with the balance a smooth brown-gray patina. Traces of original case colors remain on the hammer and lever. The lightly reoiled wood is also fine showing several filled small holes from now removed overlays or brass tacks. Mechanically excellent.
