Description:
***SOLD*** Excellent example of the Model 1873 with a 24" half octagon barrel and a 1/2 length button magazine, chambered in 38 Caliber. S/N 190707B made in 1885.
Overall condition is vg-excellent showing strong and fairly consistent bluing throughout with light case colors remaining on the hammer and lever.
The wood is equally fine for its age with all original finish, having never been sanded or touched up, and showing only scattered light mars and associated spots of discoloration.
There are no cracks anywhere, nor any other notable detractors. Original sights include a german silver front and standard issue sporting rear with correct stepped elevator. The action's dust cover is tight and smooth.
The steel crescent buttplate is in excellent shape as well and has a smooth sliding trap door. (no cleaning rods present). The bore is bright and fairly shiny overall with a few small pock marks.
The mechanical functions are all working flawlessly, tight and crisp throughout. 
Comes complete with a Cody letter confirming production and current configuration.
Please add $100 for expedited and fully insured shipping from Alaska in a custom cut foam lined box for maximum protection.
