Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle

Manufactured in 1882 as a third model with integral dust cover rail and dust cover with serrated rear edge. Dovetail blade and elevation adjustable sights on a barrel stamped with the two-line address/patent dates marking and "38-CAL." The cartridge elevator is marked "38 CAL," and the upper tang has the model marking. The smooth straight grip stock is fitted with a trapdoor buttplate (cleaning rod not included).

ConditionVery fine, retaining 80% original blue finish with thinning and speckling of brown patina on the balance. There is a small patch of cleaned pitting on the barrel. 60% original nitre blue finish remains on the loading gate. 90% plus original case colors remain on the hammer, lever and buttplate. The wood is fine with numerous minor handling/storage marks and flaking/crazing of the varnish overall. Mechanically excellent.
