Description:
We are please to offer this very nice honest 3rd model 1873 in 44 WCF. Octagon barrel, crescent butt, full magazine. The gun shows traces of original blue in the more protected areas with the balance a faded grey. Original dust cover. The Metal retains and even smooth finish without any deep gouges or pitting. The barrel and receiver edges are crisp and sharp as they should be. The wood is very good with far less than the normal amount of nicks and dings, the worst spot is on the left side of the forend (pictured). The bore is between a 6 and 7 with good rifling but shows bit dark, for a black powder 44-40 i would say it is far above average of what a 73 44-40 usually exhibits. Year of production is approximately 1887 and as we all know straight honest ,unenhanced, un molested unhelped or out right faked Winchesters are getting to be the exception rather than the norm.
