Description:
VERY FINE CONDITION 1873 OCTAGON RIFLE, .38-40, #379XXX, MADE 1891. One of the nicest I've offered in a long time, this one shows fine deep receiver blue on both sides with just normal plum/brown edge wear, original dust cover and mellow, uncleaned brass lifter marked "38 CAL."  The barrel shows about all the deep blue with only minor age and the mag tube blue is ageing/mixing plum. Original buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact and standard original small Winchester blade front sight. Sharp markings on barrel and upper tang. Exc. forend with tight wood to metal fit. The stock shows just a little more handling, but fine+ also with tight wood to metal fitl. Tight action with solid safety half-cock. Bore is excellent with sharp rifling and only slightly dark. Great appearance to this 133 year old '73 and lots of original finish! These are getting  hard to find this nice.
