Manufactured in 1887 as a third model (dust cover guide rail integrally machined as part of the receiver and a dust cover with rear serrations). Dovetail Lyman blade front sight (bead absent), "1876" marked folding ladder rear sight, standard Winchester markings including caliber designation on the barrel and cartridge elevator and buttplate with trapdoor (cleaning rod not included). Mounted on a smooth forearm and straight grip stock.

Very good, retains 30% plus original blue finish, strong original nitre blue on the loading gate (spring is weak, does not come up all the way), and faint traces of original case colors on the hammer with the balance a smooth brown/grey patina. The refinished wood is also very good with some scattered minor handling marks and hairline cracks near the buttplate and the forend cap. Mechanically excellent.
