Offered for your consideration is this fine vintage 1873 Winchester that was made in 1888. The caliber is 44-40 WCF, the barrel is 24 inches in the desirable octagon configuration. The bore is very good+, rifling is very good+ - I rate the bore 8.5 on a 10 scale and shoots cast or jacketed bullets with excellent accuracy, check the target photo. The headspace is perfect. The barrel retains full coverage of thinning plum blue with typical wear on the sharp edges. The front sight is a Winchester #21 and the rear is a Winchester 22E with serrated edges. The barrel address, caliber and tang markings are all sharp and legible. The receiver is mechanically excellent, feeds, chambers and ejects smoothly. There is 70 to 75% factory blue with scattered freckling and edge wear. The loading gate is still a nice bright fire blue, the lever has traces of faded case color remaining. Operation and lockup is tight with no wear evident, lever is tight with no slop. The wood is tight and solid, no cracks, chips, holes or significant dents, just minor handling wear. The wood is still proud above the metal. I don't believe this '73 ever saw much use and was well cared for over the past 124 years. Overall this fine vintage Winchester is just as tight as the day it was shipped from the factory! It will be an excellent addition to any collection and is a fine shooter to boot! This is a pre 1899 antique and does not require an FFL for shipment.
