Description:
44 WCF caliber. Standard configuration 1st Model carbine with 20" barrel and full magazine. About 80% nickel on barrel and mag tube remaining. Receiver and lever have about 60%. The hammer has a dark patina and the buttplate still has a little nickel left. Bore has some shine to it with good rifling and moderate pitting. Mechanics are fine. The wood has been freshened and on the right side of buttstock has beautifully incised carved, intertwined initials “MB” with 4 sets of quotation marks. These initials might stand for Mario Bianchi, who was a New Mexico lawman. This is an interesting old Winchester from 1876.
