The Model 1887 was one of the first truly successful repeating shotguns . Its lever-action design was chosen at the behest of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, best known at the time as manufacturers of lever-action firearms such as the Winchester model 1873.

The shotguns were used widely by U.S. law enforcement agencies and stagecoach companies. This Model 1887 is furnished with a 30” barrel. The metalwork and wood is all original. The action tang has crisp Winchester name and 1886 Patent detail. The action has crisp Winchester ‘WRA’ monogram. It has a bead fore sight and grooved frame rear sight.
