Description:
The Kennedy Magazine Sporting Rifle known by collectors as the “Whitney-Kennedy”
The round barrel with open lever combination in 45-60 caliber is rare. Most have the earlier style octagon barrel.
First introduced in 45-60 caliber with an octagon barrel and open lever, the Winchester style closed loop lever was introduced later.
Barrel length in 45-60 is 28”, not 24”.
45-60 introduced in January 1883.
Special lot of 400 in 45-60, with separate serial numbers are known, and this is # 207 from this lot. Serial number from receiver and lever match.
March 1883, the “Kennedy” stamp on the barrel is dropped from the barrel mark. All rifles after that date are marked “Whitney Kennedy”.
Conclusion: All of the parts and markings point to the limited 1-400 series, manufactured between January-March 1883. This is one of the early 1883 models with odd numbers.
This is a very rare rifle, in an even rarer version, "Bore is strong with sharp grooves and lands. Action works perfectly and smoothly. Metal parts are smooth with no pits or rust. This scarce Kennedy show a lot of original blue, with just normal wear. Stocks are very good with no chips or cracks. This is a nice big frame .45-60 in much better condition than usually seen.
Included are 49 rounds of 45-60 ammo valued at $47.50 (I shot one round through it!) and 1880 Winchester hand loading tool in the same 45-60 caliber, valued at $150.00.
