While I'm no Winchester expert, you do have the real deal for sure. Nobody makes a reproduction.
That gun was a thumper for it's day. It handled larger cals. than the 1873 would. Your gun is in as good or better condition for it's type as any I have seen.

BTW, I have heard that the idea for the Luger and
Maxim toggle action came from those early Winchesters.

Enjoy it, you don't see many!

Lock and Load!
