This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/1/2014
Serial No. 17631. This rifle, manufactured in 1900, features a 24" octagon barrel, full magazine, rifle butt, and is chambered to the popular .44-40 Winchester caliber. All of the metal has been cleaned and is devoid of any finish. The wood is original and proud to the metal, albeit, there is a small sliver of wood missing at the wrist and tang. All markings are sharp. It is fully operational. Strong bore. A beautiful candidate for a restoration.
