CONDITION: Exceptionally fine. The barrel and magazine tube have 80% plus of the original blue finish with some scattered
and very minor patches of surface rust on the right side below the front sight. The loading gate has 80% of the high polish
blue finish. The forearm cap, receiver, hammer, loading lever and buttplate retain nearly 85% of the brilliant casehardened
finish; wear is limited to some very minor silvering on the buttplate. The deluxe, burl walnut, stock and forearm are all
excellent plus with crisp checkering and show only very minor handling wear and retain nearly all of the high polish,
‘piano’ finish. The barrel, receiver markings and “A.M. WARD” inscription are extremely crisp. This is an exceptional example
of a Deluxe Winchester Model 1886 lever action rifle with factory inscription to pioneer retail giant Montgomery Ward.
Estimate: 40,000 - 65,000
