Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle with Casehardened Receiver

This Winchester Model 1873 was manufactured in 1883 with extra length 28 inch octagonal barrel, a German silver blade front sight, adjustable sporting rear sight, standard markings aside from no visible caliber markings on the barrel or cartridge elevator, and checkered straight wrist stock and forearm.

ConditionFine as partially refurbished (cold blue on barrel, crudely recheckered forearm) with some touch ups on the barrel and recheckered/refinished wood. More than half of the original blue finish and case colors remain with some blotches and spots of light surface pitting. The wood is very good with crisp checkering, minor scratches, small dents, and some nice figure. The action functions very well, and the markings are crisp.
