159. Winchester Third Model 1873 Lever Action Musket
serial #370271(B), 44 W.C.F., 30" round barrel with an about very good bore having some spots of piting. The metal surfaces on this 1891 manufactured Musket exhibit a brownish gray patina with a few specks of pin prick pitting, scattered older rust, some light dings, and traces of original blue finish in protected areas. The brass cartridge lifter has a pleasing light tarnish. The dark oil stained walnut buttstock and near full length forend rate very good with a few scattered dings and a 3/4" tall shallow carved letter "C" on the left side of the buttstock. The lever appears to be slightly bent not lining up properly with the lower tang. A nice honest example of an 1873 musket. (3474-82) {ANTIQUE} (1200/1600) SOLD FOR $1035.00 |
