Winchester Model 1873 3rd Model lever action rifle, .38-40 WCF caliber, Serial #346569B. The rifle is in good overall condition with a 26” octagon barrel and full-length magazine. The barrel and magazine have gone to asilver patina with areas of light surface rust. The receiver is a grey/brown patina with dull blue still evident on the loading gate. The dust cover is intact and the caliber marking is still partially legible on the brass elevator. The hammer and lever still display dull case hardening in the protected areas. The smooth wood stocks are in good condition with mars and compressions consistent with carry and use. The buttstock shows darkening from exposure to smoke, maybe campfire, fireplace etc. The left side has four small holes where an old plaque or escutcheon style plate was removed. The butt stock ends with a brass crescent buttplate with trap. The bore is fair, the action is crisp and the markings are sharp on this desirable Winchester, circa 1890. Est.: $900-$1,800. (Antique).
