Manufactured in 1870 as a third model with the serial numbered stamped in correct block style digits behind the trigger, single tang screw and a flare in the brass receiver at the junction with the forearm. The left side of the frame has an engraved inscription: "D.N. Avery/Detroit, Mich." Among the possible original owners is Darius Newell Avery, who was a director at the Union National Bank in the Detroit area circa 1888 and is buried in Detroit's Woodmere Cemetery. The Union National Bank was established after the reorganization of the Market Bank in 1886 and was later dissolved in 1906 after acquired by the Dime Savings Bank of Detroit. The barrel is fitted with dovetail blade and replacement elevation adjustable (missing elevator) sights and is stamped with the two-line Winchester address marking (mostly covered by the rear sight). The straight grip stock is fitted with a trapdoor crescent buttplate. The four-piece cleaning rod is included.

Fine. The barrel and magazine retain 30% plus original blue mixed with smooth brown patina. The exceptionally fine brass on the receiver has an attractive aged golden appearance. The loading gate retains 40% original nitre blue. The sling swivels have been removed. The forearm and stock are both fine showing some minor-moderate dings and scratches and a sling swivel base cut-out filled with wood. Mechanically excellent.
