Description:

This is a fantastic example of a full length rifle travel case manufactured by Winchester Repeating Arms Co. The overall length is approximately 45 inches and it is constructed of light brown/tan leather. There is some light tooling in the form of concentric rectangular borders with light floral scroll in the corners in the area where the buttstock of the rifle would rest. The case comfortably holds a Winchester Model 1873 and an 1892 rifle with a 24 inch barrel. There is a suitcase style handle in the receiver area of the case, a shoulder strap, and a flap that buckles closed on the butt end. The retention strap of the handle is marked "WINCHESTER/REPEATINGARMSCO./NEW-YORK".

Rating Definition:

Fine, showing mild wear overall, some scattered minor cracking, some heavier wear in typical areas such as the handle, straps, closing flaps, and muzzle end. The shoulder strap and flap retention strap have been torn. A very hard to find companion piece for your Model 1873/1892 rifle!
