- Lot Description
.44WCF, 30" round barrel with full magazine, S/N 579056 (mfg. ca 1904). Blued finish, case hardened lever and a hammer, smooth walnut musket butt, full-length smooth walnut forend and secured by three barrel bands. Upper barrel band with saber bayonet lug, adjustable ladder musket rear sight, musket-style front sight. Sling swivels in toe of stock and on middle barrel band. Includes scarce, brass-handled Winchester saber bayonet, and associated leather sling. Model 1873 muskets with saber bayonet lugs are extremely rare, as most were produced to accept an angular socket bayonet. This gun is accompanied by a Winchester factory letter that confirms that it shipped with a saber bayonet and scabbard on December 2, 1904. Jim Gordon's survey of Model 1873s rates this musket configuration as very rare.
Good. Metal heavily oxidized, with a thick brown, attic, patina. Most markings still legible. Mechanically functional, with a good book pitted bore. Stock worn, with numerous handling marks and bruises, and a grain crack along the obverse butt. Saber bayonet good to very good.Condition
