SCARCE WINCHESTER MODEL 1886 SADDLE RING CARBINE.

SCARCE WINCHESTER MODEL 1886 SADDLE RING CARBINE. Cal. 40-65. SN 58533. Fine old carbine with 22″ rnd bbl, full magazine, square base front sight & “1886” marked ladder carbine rear sight. It has stud & ring in left side of receiver. Mounted with nicely figured uncheckered American walnut with straight stock & carbine buttplate. Right side of buttstock is crudely carved “EUGENE VARELA”. Accompanied by a Cody Firearms Museum letter fully identifying this carbine as having been shipped July 11, 1891 with five other guns of same specifications to same order. This undoubtedly was a western gun having been carried many years in a saddle scabbard. The Hispanic name carved on buttstock lends credence to this theory, along with the weathered condition & grain checks in buttstock from exposure in saddle scabbard. CONDITION: Good to very good. Traces of orig finish remain in very sheltered areas, being mostly a smooth silver gray patina overall. Hammer screw is slightly battered. Wood is sound showing heavy wear with numerous small nicks, scratches & dings and an old gouge in the comb. Mechanics are fine, strong bright bore with light pitting. Goforth Collection 4-60570 JR 111 (5,000-6,000)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2006
