ANTIQUE WINCHESTER MODEL 1892 LEVER ACTION RIFLE.

SN 41832. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). Standard grade rifle with 24-1/4″ oct bbl, full magazine, half nickel front sight with screw & semi-buckhorn rear sight. Mounted with uncheckered, straight grain American walnut with straight stock & crescent buttplate. Accompanied by a Cody Firearms Museum letter that shows this rifle in cal. 44 with oct bbl & plain trigger, received in warehouse April 20,1895 and shipped Jan. 9,1896 to order number 4344. These early 1892s were greatly desired as the successors to the venerable Model 1873 and chambered the same cartridges which were also compatible with most hand guns of the day. They usually saw continuous hard service under adverse circumstances and are rarely found today with high orig finish. PROVENANCE: Tommy Rholes Estate Collection. CONDITION: Good. Bbl & magazine tube retain about 90% plummy brown patina with sharp edge wear; receiver retains traces of blue in the most sheltered areas being mostly a smooth plummy blue/brown patina; wood is sound with a fine hand worn patina and may have been waxed, possibly lightly sanded. Mechanics are fine; bright shiny bore with scattered light pitting. Would make an outstanding Cowboy Action shooter. 4-50595 JR311 (1,500-2,500) – Lot 1068
