Description
Winchester Model 1873, .44 WCF cal. lever action rifle. Serial #21518, mfg. 1876. Antique. Very good. The rare First Model and this specimen is right in the Indian War Custer era and highly desirable! Wow! 24" octagon barrel has a very good bore. Thumb-print sliding dust cover. Bright blue on barrel with marks. Marks on the wood. Unique high fixed rear sight. Post front sight. Set trigger which is a special feature. Pretty much a grey gun of course. Works fine. Bottom of breech block is a nice mustard patina without caliber designation. Cody data sheet indicates this was a rifle, octagon barrel and set trigger and shipped from the Winchester warehouse on July 11, 1877. Super display piece from the Indian Wars! Antique, so can ship to your doorstep. We will ship in a hard case. Gunrunner West item.
