SCARCE SPECIAL ORDER DELUXE WINCHESTER MODEL 1886 LEVER ACTION RIFLE.

SN 61797. Cal. 38-56. Beautiful ’86 with rare 30″ tapered oct bbl, full magazine, half nickel front sight with screw, semi-buckhorn rear sight and Lyman combination tang sight. Mounted with about 2X flame & shell grain American walnut with H-style checkered forearm and black insert, serpentine grip buttstock that has nickeled brass Swiss buttplate. Left side of lower tang is marked with the assembly number “257”, an “S” and “XX”. Top tang channel of buttstock has the assembly number “419” which number is also found inside toe of buttplate. Buttplate tang is engraved with foliate arabesque patterns. Accompanied by a copy of Mr. Yearout’s Collection inventory card which shows that he purchased it in Aug. 1963 from his brother Dean E. Yearout. This card also shows that it was shipped Sep.15, 1891 and that “action #89894 changed to 61797”. Apparently the orig rifle was returned to the factory with a damaged receiver which was replaced with the current serial numbered receiver. It seems likely that the stock may have been damaged at the same time and this new stock was installed as a replacement. PROVENANCE: Estate Collection of Lewis & Leyton Yearout. CONDITION: Good to very good. Bbl & magazine tube retain 25-30% orig blue, turning plum in sheltered areas with the balance a mottled plummy/brown patina; receiver, lever & hammer retain about 50% faded case colors, mostly on the sides, with the balance turned silver. Wood is sound with a very few, minor nicks & scratches and retains most of a fine restored finish. Mechanics are fine; worn dark bore. 4-53848 JR48 (5,000-8,000) – Lot 2079
