This is a good example of a standard Winchester 1886 lever action rifle produced in the big 45-90 cartridge. It has the standard two line barrel markings of "---MANUFACTURED BY THE -----, /----WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO. NEW HAVEN CONN. U.S.A.-----". The tang has the early markings of "----MODEL 1886----" with the two line patent dates on the lower tang directly behind the trigger. The barrel has the half German silver blade front sight with a replacement rear adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight. It has a walnut straight grip stock with a crescent butt plate and a walnut forend. Originally the rifle had the all blued finish with the color case hardened receiver, loading lever, forend cap and butt plate.
