The left side of the barrel is marked with the two line address/patent date marking, ".44 W.C.F." on the left at the breech and the serial number on the bottom of the frame. The three line model, maker and patent information is marked on the upper tang and the Winchester oval proof mark is found on the top of the receiver ring and barrel at the breech. Mounted with a smooth walnut forearm secured by a single barrel band and straight grip stock with a steel carbine buttplate. This Trapper carbine is accompanied by a letter from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms listing this carbine as being removed from the purview of the NFA, National Firearms Act and classified as a curio and relic.

Fair. The metal surfaces have a mottled gray patina with traces of original blue finish in the protected areas of the rear sight and between the bright barrel and blued magazine tube. There is some fine pitting on the receiver. The wood is good with some gouging in front of and behind the barrel band. The stock is just a bit loose and overall there are some minor dents and dings. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
