Description:
FINE 1873 .38-40 ROUND BARREL RIFLE WITH FANCIER THAN STANDARD WALNUT, #148XXX, FACTORY LETTER SHOWING SHIPMENT IN 1884. The .38-40 or .38 WCF was introduced in the 1873 in 1879 which makes this a particularly early example in this caliber with many more were made during this time in the more popular .44-40 caliber. This example also has a little better than standard grain walnut. The barrel and magazine show fine aged blue with the barrel blue a little thinner than the mag tube blue. The receiver shows aged and thinning blue with better blue on the loading gate, in the protected areas and around the side plates. Mellow, uncleaned brass lifter with “38 CAL” marking intact. Dust cover intact, fine screws, exc. markings on the barrel and upper tang, fine stock and forend with tight wood to metal fit and showing only normal light handling marks. Original buckhorn rear sight with small Rocky Mountain blade front sight. Tight action with fine bore showing good rifling all the way through and only light scattered surface roughness. A nice early .38-40 with fine appearance and particularly nice walnut.
