Description:
WINCHESTER MODEL 53 IN RARE .44 WCF (.44-40) CALIBER, #970XXX, MADE EARLY IN PRODUCTION IN 1926. Introduced in 1924, the standard caliber for the Model 53 was .25-20. Also made in .32-20, which is scarce, and the .44-40 which is rare and seldom seen. This example shows good aged blue on the receiver mixing with some brown. Similarly, the barrel shows good aged blue that is thinning and shows some freckling/brown. Original flat top buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar and small blade/bead front sight. Possibly some old blue added at one time, but if so, it was done a very long time ago- hard to tell as all the blue appears aged and worn. All good markings, wood shows handling and use, but basically solid. Fine action, half-cock on hammer weak, but the bore is bright and excellent. Original serrated steel butt plate. One of the more difficult Winchester model/calibers to locate.
