Description:
EARLY SPECIAL ORDER 1873 2ND. MODEL .44-40 WITH EXTRA LENGTH 26" ROUND BARREL, 56XXX, MADE 1880. This one has that uncleaned "attic condition" look to it that is becoming difficult to find these days.. Overall metal is a plum/brown with some good blue in the protected areas of the receiver and on the loading gate. There is still some very small areas of surface dried rust that hasn't been cleaned off (mainly on the butt plate). The 26" length is fairly uncommon as the standard length was 24" and not many people were willing to pay extra for 2" of additional barrel/mag. length. According to the Winchester Handbook by Madis, only 1201 1873 rifles had barrels longer than standard. Tight action, strong safety half-cock on the hammer and surprisingly fine+ bore that is only a little dark with strong rifling all the way through and any surface roughness too minor to describe. Generally excellent stock and forend showing minimal handling marks and tight wood to metal fit. This is a fine, uncleaned early '73 with nice appearance.
