Special Ordered 1873 Winchester SRC Full Nickel Except Barrel
SALE PENDING
Description: SPECIAL ORDER WINCHESTER Full Nickel / Except Barrel MODEL 1873 SADDLE RING CARBINE. SN 205201. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). SRC with 20″ bbl, full magazine, barleycorn front sight and 1873 marked carbine ladder rear sight. Left side of receiver has a staple & ring. Receiver, lever, hammer, buttplate, magazine tube and bbl bands where nickel finished and the bbl blue. Mounted with uncheckered, straight grain American walnut with straight stock & carbine buttplate with trap. Accompanied by a Cody Firearms Museum letter which identifies this carbine with nickel finish, received in warehouse May 1, 1886 and shipped May 6, 1887 to order number 17923. A note in the records states “May 3, 1887, all nickel except barrel”. By "all nickel" the factory meant all internal parts; toggle links, springs, screws, bolt, firing pin, etc., as was standard factory practice. All these original plated parts are still present and in good condition. The buttstock sliding door, cartridge carrier, all external screws and rear ladder sight and elevator were also plated and still show hints of nickel or better. With the nickel finish it is very unlikely that this carbine would not have been ordered or purchased by a working cowboy or anyone in law enforcement. It probably was a gift to someone for a special occasion or perhaps by a wild west showman. CONDITION: Fair to good. Receiver retains 10-15% orig nickel, mostly on the bottom tang & left side; lever & hammer retain traces of nickel with the balance of the metal a gray metal patina with light to moderate pitting, heavy on right side of receiver; wood shows nicks & scratches with three small filled holes on left side of the buttstock & forearm, a bruise on the buttstock, overall retains a dark hand worn patina. Mechanics are fine; I will rate the bore a 6 on a scale from 1 to 10. I offer a layaway plan and will consider trades. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
