CONDITION: Excellent, retains 97% plus of the bright original high polish blue finish and 95% plus of the vibrant original case colors. 90% plus bright original nitre blue remains on the loading gate. The wood is also excellent with some scattered very light scratches and dings, and displaying its fine attractive figure well. Mechanically excellent. Winchester Model 1876 rifles were often used hard as working guns on the Western frontier and thus, examples in outstanding condition like this one are incredibly rare! Writer believes this to be the finest known Model 1876 of its specific configuration.
Estimate: 65,000 - 95,000
