  • Provenance: This rifle will include a Cody Firearm Factory Winchester Letter.
  • Dimensions: 26" Barrel;
  • Circa: 1897;
  • Condition: The overall condition of this Winchester is very good to fine. The original bluing on the barrel and magazine tube is starting to show some thinning and is turning to a mild plum patina. All other metal parts, that were color-case hardened, show remnants of colors. More vibrant colors are found in protected areas. The barrel bore is very good with a small patch of oxidation about mid-point. The remainder of the bore is shiny with fine to very fine rifling. The wood stocks show signs of an older coat of varnish with an assortment of minor dings, dents and handling marks. The action is solid and functions properly. There does not appear to be any visibly replaced parts.
