Lever action rifle
Your Winchester model 1873,was made by Winchester in 1891.
Your serial number indicates that your Winchester model 1873 rifle was made in the year 1889.That year ended with serial number 323,956.
Double check the serial numbers. No 1873 sn has a "b" at the end.
That would be an amazing find. The 32-20 (32 WCF) cartridge was not introduced until 1882 for the 1873 Winchester rifle.
To find the year that any Winchester gun was made, you just need to know which model it is and what the serial number is (the model number and serial number are stamped on the gun itself). . Then go to this website and it will tell you when it was made: http://oldguns.net/sn_php/winmods.htm
The Winchester model 1873 rifle was chambered in 3 different calibers,plus at one time a .22cal rimfire.The 3 calibers are 32-20 Win(32WCF),38-40Win.(38WCF),and 44-40Win.(44WCF).If these markings do not appear on your rifle due to age and having been worn off,then a competent gunsmith will have to do a chamber casting to determine the correct caliber.If you are curious the serial number that you supplied indicates that your Winchester model 1873 was made in 1888.
The Winchester Company introduced the 32 Calibre rifle in 1873. For it they created four different types of bullets including the Winchester 32 special.
