CLASSIC 1873 .44-40 OCTAGON RIFLE, #518XXX, WITH FACTORY LETTER SHOWING SHIPMENT IN 1898
Description: CLASSIC 1873 .44-40 OCTAGON RIFLE, #518XXX, WITH FACTORY LETTER SHOWING SHIPMENT IN 1898. This is a very attractive example with even, fine, deep and only lightly aged barrel blue. The mag tube is similar with a bit more plum mixing. Sights are original buckhorn rear and small Winchester blade front. The receiver shows some good aged blue on the right side and in the more protected areas and on the loading gate with much mixing brown. The left side is similar but shows some signs of rust that was more “on” the metal than “in” the metal that was wiped off, but not steel wooled or buffed and blends well- minor actually. Tight wood to metal fit with fine forend. The butt stock looks as if it rode exposed in a saddle scabbard as it has numerous very light surface scrapes and dings- even shows some shallow “dots” from a spur dragging along the right side of the stock for a very short distance. There also appears to be some scratching that may be a brand- possibly “E L” or something similar to both sides of the stock that is not overly apparent. All this sounds much worse than it is as the photos show. Bore shows fine rifling throughout along with scattered very surface roughness. Mellow brass lifter has not been cleaned or polished and is correctly marked “44 CAL.” Original dust cover intact, tight action and excellent markings. Still retains lots of dried grease on the action and this rifle looks like it was simply put away and stored for a number of decades! Hard to find in this uncleaned state. Very attractive antique serial numbered example with a lot of barrel blue that came out of Arizona. Factory letter included. SOLD Antique: Yes Manufacturer: Winchester Model: 1873 OCTAGON RIFLE Serial Number: 518XXX Caliber Info: .44-40 Condition: FINE Barrels: 24" OCT. |
