Winchester Model 1866 Lever Action Saddle Ring Carbine

Many legendary firearms are often cited as the "Guns that Won the West", however, there are perhaps no long guns more iconic than the Winchester Model 1866 carbine. These carbines simply have "the look" of having been there when the West was being tamed and were carried for decades on the frontier by lawmen, cowboys, outlaws, Native Americans, gold prospectors, and settlers. This example was manufactured in 1872, when the American West was still very much wild. It is a Third Model, with the serial number marked in block digits behind the trigger on the lower tang. The standard two-line address and King's patent marking is on top of the barrel. It is fitted with a blade front sight, integral to the barrel band, and a folding two-leaf rear sight, as well as a saddle ring on the left of the receiver. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with an iron trapdoor crescent buttplate (cleaning rod not included). Iron buttplates were a late production mounting. The carbine has full nickel finish. Provenance: The Collection of David L. DeLullo

ConditionVery good displaying period retailer nickel plating. The receiver retains 70% of the nickel plating. The lever retains 20% nickel plating and the barrel, barrel bands, and magazine tube retain 30% of the nickel plating, otherwise a mottled gray patina associated with use in a challenging environment. The wood is good displaying working gun character with extensive chipping along the grain and a couple of gouges. A Winchester Model 1866 saddle ring carbine exuding authentic frontier issue type appearance.
