Description:
This is a real beauty, 1873 Winchester, 38 WCF, which at some time, has been re-finished and re-blued and engraved.   The engraving was one of the last rifles Frank Leman of California worked on.   It features a Grizzly Bear on the right, a Bull Elk on its left and scroll work in various places.  I believe this to be an original piece and functions well.  This barrel is a 26” octagon and has signs of use, pitting is visible.  If you look closely, you can see two  areas that have been repaired in the fore-stock and the tip of the butt-stock.   This rifle has always been the main attraction on the wall, and I feel its beauty far outweighs its flaws.
