WINCHESTER MODEL 1886 LEVER ACTION RIFLE.

SN 76393. Cal. 45-90. Standard grade rifle with 26″ oct bbl, full magazine, half nickel front sight and semi-buckhorn rear sight. Mounted with uncheckered nicely figured American walnut with straight stock & crescent buttplate. Accompanied by a Cody Firearms Museum letter which identifies this rifle in caliber 45-90 with oct bbl & plain trigger, received in warehouse March 7, 1893 and shipped June 5, 1894 to Order #14672. Standard grade rifles are substantially more common than deluxe & special order rifles but are rarely found with high orig finish. They were a working tool and usually saw hard service with little or no maintenance. The era of this rifle was when business & work were conducted from the back of a horse, wagon or buggy which necessitated these rifles being exposed continuously to hard service and the elements. PROVENANCE: Tommy Rholes Estate Collection. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Bbl & magazine tube retain 97-98% strong orig blue with a few small scattered spots of surface rust; receiver retains virtually all of its orig case colors, brilliant on sides and top, moderately to heavily faded on bottom; lever & hammer retain brilliant case colors on sides; right side of lever & outer faces are moderately faded; buttplate is faded to silver with brown patina. Wood is sound with a few scattered light nicks & scratches, shows dulling at carry point on forearm, otherwise the wood retains about all of its strong orig factory finish. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore. 4-50622 JR12 (12,500-17,500) – Lot 1050
