Antique Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Rifle with Factory Letter

Manufactured in 1893. The included factory letter lists the rifle in .38-56 caliber with an octagon barrel and plain trigger when received at the warehouse on 4 February 1893 and shipped on 14 February 1893 in order number 14610. Fitted with dovetailed German silver front and elevation semi-buckhorn rear sights. Mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

ConditionGood, retains traces of original blue finish and mostly silvered out case colors visible on the receiver with the balance mostly a smooth grey patina, some light spotting scattered throughout (more dense on the receiver), and a patch of mild pitting on the bottom right of the receiver. The wood is very good with some scattered minor dings and scratches and a small notch cut at the front of the comb. Mechanically excellent.
