Winchester 1876 Open Top (W4119)

Winchester 1876 Open Top customized by Freund. Serial number 7434 and gun made in 1878. This gun is accompanied by Cody "white sheet" that letters the rifle with a round barrel and plain trigger. On other remarks is says "Lid, To 45-60 round, plain". Lid refers to the gun being fitted to a dustcover. For whatever reason an owner along the way removed the dustcover, possibly done at Freund, however the motive is unclear. Both the front and rear sights have Freund markings and the sight slot plug for the Winchester Factory sight has the initials TF in old script, undoubtedly the old owner. Gun is in very fine original condition with very desirable Freund sights as well as a tang sight of the period. Bore is excellent. Wood is very good. Buttstcok was refinished long ago, while the forearm is untouched. This is a very desirable gun.
