Foliate arabesque patterns are also on the top tang and receiver ring with arabesque patterns on all 3 flats over the chamber area.

CONDITION: Very good overall, with a very pleasing plum brown patina over most of receiver and magazine. The bbl has a fair amount of faded blue finish in protected areas. Balance is worn slightly bright but shows great character. The 2-pc walnut stocks are quite fine with much factory finish remaining with a reasonable amount of darkening and light bruising at leading edges of buttstock and forearm. The bore is rather dark, however, has strong rifling. Mechanics are excellent and solid. A very attractive engraved 1892 Winchester that has been used and enjoyed and has wonderful eye appeal. 50506-58 TDW (7,500-12,500) C&R – Lot 4137
