Picked up a nice 1873 in .38-40 WCF that was made in 1888. In great condition and has some nice options that all letter.. blued receiver, half-mag, 62b tang sight and beeches front sight. Original cleaning rod still in the butt.

A pleasure to admire, and in one of my favourite calibers!

What does the sight configuration add to value?

When a 62B is put on a 73 the most common front sight put with it is the Beach. By themselves you have at least $1000
