Winchester Model 1873 Musket chambered in .44-40 Winchester (.44 W.C.F.). Serial number 367687B places its manufacture in approximately 1890, making it an antique-production example of one of Winchester’s most historically significant lever-action firearms.
The musket configuration is a distinctive variation of the Model 1873, combining Winchester’s classic lever-action mechanism with a military-style, full-length profile. Chambered in the Model 1873’s traditional .44-40 cartridge, this example represents an especially interesting configuration for collectors of antique Winchester firearms and Old West-era arms.
The firearm is rated in NRA Good to Very Good condition, showing the expected signs of age, handling, and previous use consistent with a firearm manufactured more than a century ago.
