CONDITION: Exceptionally fine. The barrel and magazine tube retain 70% original blue finish with a smooth brown patina on the balance and scattered patches of light pitting. 40% original nitre blue remains on the loading gate. The very fine brass displays a highly attractive mellow appearance. The receiver has tight fitting sideplates. There are a couple small putty filled repairs and a short stress line at the lower tang, otherwise the wood is fine with minor dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent. A well above average condition Winchester Model 1866 rifle that will be a standout piece to any lever action collection. Provenance: The Greg Lampe Collection.
Estimate: 20,000 - 30,000
