Desirable Documented Antique Winchester Model 1887 10 Gauge Lever Action Shotgun with Factory Letter, Shipping Crate, and Box of Shells

Manufactured in 1898 with standard markings including "WRACO" monogram, brass bead front sight, 2 7/8 inch chamber, 12 7/8 inch length of pull, and mounted with a smooth two-slab forearm and pistol grip stock with a checkered steel buttplate. The included factory letter confirms the gauge and barrel length as well as receipt at the warehouse on 19 May 1898, shipment on 2 September 1898, and return for repair on 8 September 1898. Includes a Winchester Repeating Arms stamped shipping crate marked for C.Q. Morgan Esq., that was shipped by Adams Express, an Adams Express marked leather belt with brass shotgun shell loops, and a full, unopened, box of Winchester 12 gauge brass shot shells.

ConditionFine, retains 75% plus of the original blue finish and strong traces of the original case colors on the breech block and lever with the balance a smooth brown-grey patina. The wood is very good with numerous minor dings and scratches, concentrated mostly on the revarnished buttstock, and a few hairline cracks. Mechanically excellent. The crate, belt, and box of shells are all fine or better with generally mild wear.
