The fancy grade stock and forearm show light-moderate handling wear but remain in very fine overall condition with sharp checkering. Most of the original piano finish is present on the stock and forearm. The 1 of 1000 Winchester Model 1873 rifles are one of the ultimate prizes in Winchester collecting. This exceptional and fully documented, gold- plated, factory engraved, John Ulrich signed 1 of 1000 rifle is certainly one of the rarest and most desirable Winchester rifles offering one collector or savvy investment buyer the opportunity and pride to truly own the best.
Provenance: The Press Collection, The Robert M. Lee Collection and The Gateway Collection.
Estimate: 275,000 - 450,000
