Re: WTB models 1881 - 1889 - 1893
I have a very nice `81 with a low 4 digit serial number in 45-70. Bore is perfect, wood is nice with most of its original varnish remaining. Metal is very nice as well with most original blue on the frame and barrel. Barrel is 28 inches, tang sight as well as original rear sight, never messed with. Health declining and I need to start getting rid of a few things. Give me a call if you like 864-580-8737 anytime. I`m retired . I don`t know the value of these, but $2000 or so seems reasonable. Made in 1881 or early 82. Wormey, Boiling Springs, S.C.
