Manufactured in 1900 as a third model with the integral dust cover guide rail and a dust cover with serrated grasping grooves on the tail. It has carbine sights with the rear sight graduated to 9. The top of the barrel has the two-line address/King's improvement patent markings ahead of the rear sight and "44 WCF" at the breech. The upper tang is marked "MODEL 1873." The brass cartridge elevator is marked "44 CAL." Mounted on select walnut forearm and straight grip stock. The buttstock is fitted with a carbine buttplate featuring a compartment (cleaning rod not included). The Winchester Model 1873 is one of the most iconic firearms in American history. It was used extensively across America, especially in the Old West, and has appeared in numerous iconic westerns.

Very fine. The carbine retains 60% plus original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. 40% of original case colors remain on the hammer, lever, and buttplate. The nicely figured revarnished wood is fine with some minor handling evidence and a small missing chip near the upper tang. Mechanically excellent.
