Winchester 73 - You have what looks like a Stevens Model 41 tip-up, with a "disappeared" front sight.

It would have been mounted to the 3 1/2" barrel - the only barrel length they were made in, AFAIK.

Prior to 1903, they were available in either (blackpowder) .22 Short, or .30 Rimfire - but only the .22 Short after that.

BTW - Your H&R Defender is a Model 925, IIRC - and the MSRP for one used to be about $90 in the late 70's.
