Typical settings: Late 19th-century Old West scenes, frontier towns, prosperous ranch or saloon settings, and turn-of-the-century American stories.
The Model 1873 lever-action rifle is one of the most enduring symbols of the American West. Introduced in 1873, it became widely associated with civilian ownership and frontier life, gaining lasting cultural recognition through its role in Western storytelling. Winchester’s famous description of the model as “The Gun That Won the West” reflects its prominence during the era rather than formal military service.
Manufactured by Denix, this non-firing replica represents a more decorative interpretation of the 1873, featuring an engraved brass-finish receiver paired with a heavy octagonal barrel. Brass-trimmed and engraved rifles were often associated with personal ownership, presentation pieces, or visually striking firearms depicted in saloon, town, and ranch environments.
This replica includes a working lever action, making it well suited for film, television, theater, display, and costuming where period-correct appearance and mechanical realism are desired without live-fire capability.
