Description:
3) RARE 1888 OCTAGON RIFLE IN DESIRABLE .44-40 CALIBER, MADE 1889, only 4814 of this model was made from 1888-1889 and of those only 1727 were in .44-40 caliber. Most of the 1888s that are encountered are in hard, frontier used condition- especially those in the larger .38-40 and .44-40 calibers, this is one of the better one's I've seen in a long time, fine deep barrel blue with exc. correct markings, mag tube shows good blue on the top protected area below the barrel with the balance mixing brown, right side of receiver shows fine blue that is mixing lightly with some brown, fine deep blue on loading gate, left side of receiver shows good blue in the forward protected area with the balance gray/brown with some surface freckling toward the rear, flat top buckhorn rear sight with small blade front sight, exc. wood with tight wood to metal fit shows very light handling only, tight action and EXC. BORE (needs a clean only), very very hard to find caliber in this model in this condition.
