*SCARCE WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 SADDLE RING CARBINE. SN 708403. Cal. 32 WCF (32-20). Standard grade carbine, fairly scarce in this caliber, with 20″ bbl, full magazine, barleycorn front sight and 2,000 yard carbine ladder rear sight. Left side of receiver has a staple & ring. Mounted with nicely figured, uncheckered American walnut with straight stock and carbine buttplate without trap. Accompanied by a Cody Firearms Museum letter which identifies this carbine, as found, received in warehouse Nov. 7, 1916 and shipped May 10, 1917 to Simmons Hardware Co., St. Louis, MO. The fact that this letter shows a shipping destination is quite rare for a Winchester. Simmons Hardware was a major supplier to western dealers and folks moving west. PROVENANCE: Wes Adams Estate Collection. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Bbl & magazine tube retain about 99% crisp orig blue with a few tiny nicks on the magazine tube; receiver retains 96-97% crisp orig blue with only very light sharp edge wear and some light chemical spotting on left front flat; hammer retains about all of its brilliant case colors and the lever about all of its orig blue; buttplate retains 95-96% orig blue. Wood is sound with a very few, very minor handling & storage nicks & scratches and overall retains virtually all of its orig factory finish. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore with some minor roughness, has been fired but very little. This is a fine example of an 1873 carbine in 32 caliber. 4-44596 JR45 (10,000-15,000)
