Winchester Model 1873 'Trapper' .44-40 Win
'Display Piece Only' Spurious third model 1873 'Trapper' lever action repeating rifle chambered in .44-40 Winchester. This short barreled rifle has been counterfeited to letter as an authentic 15” carbine model using antique parts with a replicated serial number.

The metal surfaces display a mottled brown/grey patina with scattered light pitting, the action is in working order with a non-working grip safety, the bore shows good rifling with scattered pitting, the erroneous markings are of bad quality and the dark wood stocks are near good with a 2” crack in the tip of the forend.
