Manufactured in 1890 as a third model with integral dust cover rail and dust cover with serrated rear edge. Winchester proofs, which were not standardized until the early 20th century, are stamped on the receiver and barrel at the breech. The barrel has the two-line address/patent dates marking ahead of the rear sight and "44 W.C.F." on the upper left flat at the breech and dovetail blade front and elevation adjustable sights. "44 CAL" marked on the cartridge elevator, and "MODEL 1873" marked on the upper tang. The straight grip stock has a trapdoor crescent buttplate. A four piece cleaning rod is included.

Very fine as factory refurbished overall. The factory replacement barrel and magazine tube retain 97% original blue finish showing some light spotting. The remaining surfaces retain 80% original blue finish with a smooth brown patina on the balance and some spotting mixed with limited pitting. The wood is fine with the initial "AKH" hand marked on the buttstock and minor dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
