Late 19th century, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The gun retains its original metal back plate, trigger and sight. Applied to the top of the stock, rear of the sight, are applied brass letters forming the word "WINCHESTER". Note: The Winchester trade sign was mounted vertically on the side of the building. Structurally good with darkened patina, surfaces weathered.
