*US, 20th Century, Replica Winchester Lever-Action Rifle, Brass-Fitted*

Decorative replica Winchester-style lever-action rifle, featuring polished brass receiver and fittings, blued barrel and magazine tube, and well-figured hardwood stock and fore-end. The rifle is fitted with a traditional curved steel lever, exposed hammer, and a sliding ladder rear sight, closely following the classic late-19th-century Winchester profile.

This example is of full-length form and operates with a full working lever action, cycling smoothly for display or handling purposes. The brass furniture gives the piece a particularly attractive appearance and is typical of decorative or theatrical reproductions inspired by the iconic American frontier rifle.

Approx. Measurements – Overall length: 98 cm. Barrel length: 48.5 cm.

Historical Note:
Winchester lever-action rifles became one of the most recognisable firearms of the American West during the second half of the 19th century, closely associated with frontier expansion, hunting, and popular culture. Replica examples such as this were widely produced during the 20th century for decorative display, film and theatre use, and private collections, offering the visual impact of the original without the complexities of an antique firearm.

*Condition*
Overall very good decorative condition. The brass fittings show light surface wear, small scratches, and mellowed patination consistent with handling. The blued metal components display minor marks and wear but retain an even finish. The wooden stock and fore-end are sound, with light surface marks and minor handling wear. Action operates smoothly as intended for a replica piece. Please see photographs as part of the condition report.
