CONDITION: Excellent, retaining 95% plus bright original polish blue finish other than the magazine tube which has faded to an attractive plum hue. 85% original niter blue remains on the loading gate. The hammer retains 95% plus original case colors, and the lever retains 70% original case colors. Slight patterns of case colors remain on the buttplate. The wood is also excellent with some minor handling marks and most of the original finish remaining. Mechanically excellent. A superb example of
a rare Winchester Model 1873 short rifle that will be difficult to improve upon. A must have for the serious Winchester collector! Provenance: The Greg Lampe Collection.
Estimate: 40,000 - 60,000
