What a beauty! I’m a sucker for special features and yours appears to have a few! Really like the front sling eye.
Looks to be in very high condition. I’m assuming the bore is just as good?

That is one sweet rifle! The only thing missing is the leather couch!

Kirk- I'll say it before Brownlee does, "YOU SUCK"! Nice rifle in a neat old round, have fun with it.
Pursuit may be, it seems to me, perfect without possession. Robert Kelley Weeks (1840-1876)

I don't know anything about this genre of rifles, but I sure can admire that beauty! Best! John

Maybe I can help you.... I paid 1800 including the juice for a Win 1873 in 32-30 that had non original finish, wrong mag tube, wrong butt plate, wrong wood, and a broken link. :-) I bought early by about three or four decades ;-)

No matter what you paid for it, they aren’t making any more of them. Nice find.
