Antique Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle in .44 W.C.F.

Manufactured in 1884 as a Third Model with integral dust cover rail and dust cover with serrations at the rear. Two-line address/King's patent marking and "44 W.C.F." on the top barrel flat, model designation on the upper tang, serial number on the lower tang, and "44 CAL." on the bottom of the cartridge elevator. Fitted with German silver blade front and elevation adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sights. Mounted with a smooth forearm and a nicely figured straight grip stock with a trapdoor crescent buttplate (cleaning rod not included).

ConditionFine, retains 50% of the original blue finish with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth brown patina and a few patches of course brown oxidation on the buttplate. 25% of the original case colors and nitre blue remain on the hammer and loading gate. The wood is also fine with some minor dings and scratches scattered throughout. Mechanically excellent.
