INDIAN USED WINCHESTER MODEL 1866 SADDLE RING CARBINE.

INDIAN USED WINCHESTER MODEL 1866 SADDLE RING CARBINE. SN 39810. Cal. 44 RF Henry. Standard carbine with 20″ rnd bbl, full magazine, integral front band/front sight, early thick forearm band & 2-position flip rear sight. Left side of the receiver has a saddle ring staple with the ring removed but not before it wore a groove in the receiver and the adjacent wood. Mounted with uncheckered straight grain American walnut with straight stock and a crescent brass buttplate with trap. Left side of the receiver is crudely engraved on the front flat with what appears to be a striped horse. Right side of the receiver is engraved with 2 similar horses. Left side plate is hand scratched with the initials “DFMM”. This carbine exhibits all the traits of an Indian used firearm showing very hard use and wear with readily apparent saddle bow wear on the forearm, the crude horse engraving and the missing saddle ring. Buttstock also has a row of brass tack shanks around the right side of the buttplate, tackheads are missing. Trigger return spring & screw are missing. CONDITION: Fair. No orig finish remains on the steel parts which are mostly a mottled gray/brown patina. Receiver shows very heavy wear, especially around the carry point and the brass all retains a dark mustard patina. Stock has a break around the top tang and is missing a large chunk on the right side with small slivers missing around the bottom tang and long slivers missing from the forearm by the bbl channel. Left side of the forearm is very thin from saddle bow wear and handling. Aside from the missing trigger return spring, mechanics are fine. Strong dark bore with good rifling. 4-49068 JR161 (6,000-10,000)
