Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle

This Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle was manufactured in 1884 with the integral dust cover rail on the receiver and dust cover with serrated edges. The full octagon barrel has nickel-silver blade front sight and an adjustable sporting style rear sight with serrated edges. The upper tang is factory drilled and tapped. It is fitted with a walnut stock and forearm with a carbine style buttplate with an empty compartment. The top barrel flat is roll-stamped "WINCHESTER'S REPEATING ARMS NEW HAVEN CONN. U.S.A./KING'S IMPROVEMENT PATENTED MARCH 29.1866.OCTOBER 16.1860." ahead of the rear sight. The caliber "38 CAL." is stamped between the rear sight and the receiver and on the brass cartridge elevator. "MODEL. 1873." is stamped in fancy script on the upper tang with foliate decoration at either end of the marking. The serial number is stamped in script numerals on the lower tang between the lever latch and the tang screw.

ConditionGood. The rifle has a crisp mottled brown patina on the barrel and magazine tube. The buttplate and lever have a dark brown patina. The frame has a mix of brown and gray patina. There are some light scratches, areas of light pitting, and a few marks throughout. The action is excellent, and the markings are clear. The wood is very good as reoiled with some dings and light scratches throughout and a few small chips.
