Desirable Antique Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Saddle Ring Carbine with Juan Canedo Buenos Aires Retailer Marking

Manufactured in 1894 with the desirable casehardened receiver that was standard until approximately serial number 108000. According to John T. Madl in his summer 2018 article in "The Winchester Collector", only 1,416 Model 1886 carbines were manufactured in .40-82 W.C.F. The top of the barrel on this example is marked with the standard two-line Winchester address, and the caliber marking at the breech. Just below the address on the upper left of the barrel, the retailer marking "Juan Canedo y Cia Rivadavia 611-Buenos Aires" is hand engraved. Juan Canedo took over a large firearms retail business in Argentina from Don Alfredo Gottling, who started the business in 1857. It is reported that Canedo's firm operated into the 1970's and were known to be a major importer of the most advanced firearms models from North America and Europe. The upper tang is marked with the model designation and the serial number is on the lower tang. It is fitted with a pinned blade front sight, folding ladder rear sight, and a saddle ring on the left of the receiver. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a carbine buttplate. Provenance: The Tom Selleck Collection

ConditionFine, retains 50% plus of the original blue finish and 40% of the vibrant original case colors with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina and a few scattered patches of light surface pitting. The wood is very good with some minor dings and scratches throughout and a moderate pressure dent on the left of the buttstock. Mechanically excellent. Surviving examples of these South American shipped Winchester lever actions are very difficult to fine!
