*RARE WINCHESTER MODEL 1892 SADDLE RING TRAPPER CARBINE.

SN 852145. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). Standard grade carbine with rare 14″ bbl, full magazine, square base front sight with a drop of solder added to the blade & a 2000 yd carbine ladder rear sight. Left side of receiver has a staple & ring. Mounted with uncheckered, straight grain gumwood stock and forearm with straight grip & carbine buttplate. Accompanied by a copy of page 41, section III of the Department of Justice, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives Firearms Curios or Relics list which lists this carbine by SN as being exempt from the controls of Class III items. It can now be sold as a curio under the laws & regulations governing the sale of ordinary firearms. Trapper carbines are quite scarce in the US with the majority of them having been sold for use in South and Central American countries. The majority of those repatriated to the U.S. have been in deplorable, near relic condition. So to find one in completely orig configuration, in usable condition is a rarity. PROVENANCE: Tommy Rholes Estate Collection. CONDITION: Very good. Bbl & magazine tube retain a dark blue/brown patina with stronger blue in sheltered areas. Receiver is a brown patina with fine surface etching. Lever & hammer retain traces of blue, being mostly a brown patina. Buttplate is in identical condition. Wood is sound with nicks, scratches & a few dings and retains a hand worn patina. Mechanics are fine. Bright shiny bore. 4-50579 JR49 (5,500-7,500) – Lot 1060
