RARE DELUXE ENGRAVED WINCHESTER MODEL 1892 LEVER ACTION RIFLE.

SN 10999. Cal 44 WCF (44-40). Rare deluxe engraved ’92 rifle with 24-1/4″ oct bbl, full magazine, half nickel front sight with screw, semi-buckhorn rear sight and Lyman combination tang sight. Mounted with very highly figured, about 3X American walnut with H-style checkered forearm and straight stocks with crescent buttplate. Receiver, forend cap and buttplate tang are beautifully engraved by John Ulrich in #6 patterns consisting of the large vignettes of a bighorn sheep in a mountain scene on the left side and a whitetail buck in a forest scene on the right side, all surrounded by very fine, very well executed foliate arabesque patterns with latch hook borders. Engraving patterns extend over the top of the receiver, about 1-3/4″ over the chamber area of the bbl with light patterns on the forend cap and buttplate tang. Bottom of the receiver is elaborately engraved with intertwined crossing ribbons, surrounded by very fine scrolls. Left side of the lower tang is marked with the assembly number “16” and “XXX”. Matching assembly number is also found in the top tang channel of the buttstock and inside toe of buttplate. Engraved ’92s are only a very small portion of engraved Winchesters. These little rifles were considered primarily as working tools and very few were special ordered or had extra finish wood or engraving. CONDITION: About fine. Bbl and magazine tube retain about 80% dulling orig blue with some spots of surface rust; receiver retains blue in sheltered areas, being mostly a grey metal patina; wood is sound with usual nicks, scratches and dings and retains most of an old added finish; mechanics are crisp; worn dark bore with good rifling. 4-51514 JR271 (6,000-10,000) – Lot 1151
