This carbine was manufactured in 1890 and it features a patina finish with traces color case hardened hammer, buttplate and loading lever. This model of Winchester carbine has always been favorite of Winchester collectors especially in this very good condition in this caliber as they all truly saw heavy use on the western frontier. This example has the correct third model receiver with the integral machined dust cover rail on top of the receiver its original smooth sliding dust cover. It has the stepped down radius on the front edge of the receiver only found on short barrel 44-40 caliber carbines. The upper tang has the third pattern markings of: "WINCHESTER 1873" flanked by the decorative foliate on each end . The receiver is fitted with an 20" inch carbine length barrel with the two line Winchester factory barrel markings on top with the "Kings Improvement Patented along with the 1860 patent dates. The breech end of the barrel is factory engraved, "44 W.C.F. " and it has the fixed carbine front sight with the second pattern folding carbine rear sight that is graduated "2-9" (200-900 yards) And marked "1873" on top flat.

The forend is held on by a single barrel band
Very Good contition very little original factory blued metal finish remains and mostly replaced by a brown patina. The hammer and cocking lever and buttplate retain traces of case coloring. The forend and buttstock are both in excellent condition with a beautiful dark brown matching oil finish with the buttstock showing some very minor light nicks or scratches on the sides from general handling and storage. The forend also shows just some minor handing marks on the sides in a couple places. Mechanically excellent. Buyer Pays $45.00 shipping to the lower 48 states.
