WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 "ONE OF ONE THOUSAND" RIFLE.

Very fine, well documented, all original Model 1873 rifle. This gun was located at the time of the Universal Picture search for the 1 of 1,000 rifles that were made and later made tribute by the movie, ‘Winchester Model 1873’ starring Jimmy Stewart. At that time, the gun was owned by T.R. Jordan. The search took place in approximately 1950 and it was in his possession from then up until some time in the mid-70’s when it was acquired by a very knowledgeable and respected collector from upper Michigan State. The gun comes complete with a Factory Letter stating it’s 26” full oct barrel, full magazine, gold gilted Beaches front, correct Winchester Buckhorn rear and folding tang sights. Original wood is listed as fancy 2X grade with rifle style buttplate and is complete with original cleaning rod in the butt. This is the only one ever made with 2X uncheckered wood which exhibits intense grain right up through the wrist area which is quite unusual. Overall metal is excellent with sharp corners, fine markings, mostly a plummish blue brown patina coloration; no pits or signs of abuse, crisp action, fine bore. ~~> VIEW PHOTO <~~ e
