RARE WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 TRAPPER SADDLE RING CARBINE.

SN 329914. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). Rare trapper carbine with 16″ bbl, full magazine, barleycorn front sight and carbine ladder rear sight, missing its slide & retaining screw. Left side of receiver has a staple & ring. Mounted with uncheckered, slab-sawed American walnut with straight stock and carbine buttplate with trap. Stock & forearm have an incised diamond pattern decoration over their entire surfaces, much of which is completely worn away, with the balance rather thin. Accompanied by a reproduction 3-pc brass & steel cleaning rod. Also accompanied by a Cody Firearms Museum letter which identifies this carbine in cal 44, with 16″ bbl, received in warehouse Mar. 27, 1890 and shipped same day to order number 10543. This trapper carbine is typical of those shipped to South America and later repatriated. A large percentage of trapper carbines were sold in South America which has lead to the scarcity of these highly collectible arms. They are rarely found today in orig configuration with any orig finish. CONDITION: Very good. No orig finish remains with the metal being an overall dark brown patina with areas of scattered pitting on the receiver & side plates. Stock has a series of grain checks, a hair line back of the top & bottom tangs with chips around the tang and otherwise retains a hand worn patina showing heavy wear. Mechanics are fine; worn bore with good rifling and heavy pitting. Cleaning rod is extremely fine. 4-51298 (12,500-17,500) – Lot 2045
