Description:
VERY FINE 1873 .38-40 OCTAGON RIFLE, #285XXX, MADE 1888. A really nice example that retains about all the blue on the receiver that is getting a tinge of plum from age. The dust cover is original and shows the same color as the rest of the receiver. The barrel also retains fine blue with an aged bit of plum. The mag tube matches the receiver and barrel with a touch more plum mixing. There is almost no gray to the metal. The brass lifter is correctly caliber marked and is an attractive mellow, uncleaned mustard color. Stock and forend are excellent with tight wood to metal fit and show little handling. Fine screw heads, tight action with only the lever spring weak. Buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact and small Winchester blade front sight. Bore is a bit dark with strong rifling all the way through and only light scattered surface corrosion. This is a really attractive 138 year old 1873.
