Description:
A fine original antique 73' rifle, serial #253XXX made in 1887. It is .38-40 caliber, octagon barrel, with all standard features, verified by a factory letter, included. The rifle is in fine overall condition with about 75% thinning blue on the barrel and magazine. The frame has approximately 75% BRIGHT blue with case colors on hammer and lever turning silver. The butt plate has completely turned silver. All markings are sharp and strong. The mechanics are good and the bore is good. The wood is very good, the butt stock showing about 60% of an old added varnish. The wood has normal dings and scratches from use and oil darkened where metal meets wood. The wood to metal fit is perfect. The front sight is an old period replacement and a tang sight was installed at one time and the original screw holes are now filled with larger screws. A very nice example of a .38-40 rifle that was considered the "Magnum" of the era as it reached velocities of over 1000 feet per second. A reproduction cleaning rod is in the butt cavity.
