Description
SCARCE WINCHESTER MODEL 1887 LEVER ACTION SHOTGUN. SN 31187. Cal. 10 ga. Standard grade shotgun with 32" steel bbl, half magazine with color case hardened receiver that has the "WRACo" intertwined initials on left side. Mounted with very highly figured slab-sawed, uncheckered American walnut with forearm panels and a rnd knob pistol grip stock with checkered steel Winchester buttplate. According to Flayderman`s Guide to Antique American Firearms approx. 64,855 of these shotguns were produced in the period 1887-1901 in both blue & color case hardened with 30", 32" & rare 20" bbls. They were strong reliable shotguns, but unfortunately faced stiff competition from the more successful Models 1893 & 1897 pump action shotguns. The models 1887 & 1901 shotguns were the only 10 ga. shotguns produced by Winchester. The Model 1887 saw modest success with coach guards & law enforcement in the late 1800s and their popularity was refreshed by Arnold Schwarzenegger in one of his late 20th century movies. PROVENANCE: Wes Adams Estate Collection. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Bbl retains about 95% crisp orig blue with some fine pitting on the top at about mid-point and corresponding pitting on magazine tube, which retains about 75% strong orig blue with a series of fingerprints and light pitting, probably from blood; receiver, lever & hammer retain most of their strong, bright, orig case colors with one small cleaned area on top rear edges and fading on outer faces of lever. Wood is sound and retains about all of its orig factory finish. Mechanics are crisp, moderately to heavily pitted bore. 4-44542 JR60
