Description:
Offered here for the serious Winchester collector is an early 2nd Model Winchester 1873 in the original caliber .44-40.  Serial #37XXX was manufactered in 1879 per the Cody letter which is included.  It features a highly desirable thumb-print dust cover, and 80% blue remains.  It is fitted with a half or button magazine.  What is unusual about this Winchester is that It has a full octagon barrel which is scarce, as most button mag rifles featured round or half round/half octagon barrels.  The bore is good, and would rate a 7.5 on a scale of 1-10.  A tang sight was added at some point in this rifles long life.  Feel free to contact the Seller with any questions.   

NRA Rating:  FINE: All original parts; over 30% original finish; sharp lettering, numerals and design on metal and wood; minor marks in wood; good bore.
