This is an extremely nice example of a Winchester Model 1886 Deluxe Express Rifle manufactured in 1890. The rifle has a casehardened frame, forearm cap, hammer, lever and shotgun buttplate. The half-octagon barrel, half-magazine, bolt and loading gate are blue. The barrel is equipped with a Lyman Hunting Front Sight with colored insert and a sporting rear sight with serrated edges and sliding elevator. The top barrel flat is marked, "- MANUFACTURED BY THE-/-WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO. NEW HAVEN. CONN. U.S.A.-", ahead of the rear sight and "50 EX" at the breech. The upper tang is marked "-MODEL 1886-" and the lower tang is stamped with the 1884 and 1885 patent dates in two lines behind the trigger with the serial number between the tang screws. Mounted with a checkered walnut forearm and pistol grip stock with a steel shotgun buttplate. The accompanying Cody Firearms Museum letter verifies the rifle 50/110 caliber, half-octagon barrel, plain trigger, checkered pistol grip stock, sporting rear sight and half-magazine, and that it was shipped from the warehouse on August 13, 1890.
