RARE FIRST PRODUCTION WINCHESTER MODEL 1892 LEVER ACTION RIFLE.

SN 327. Cal. .38 WCF (38-40). Standard grade rifle with 24-1/4″ oct bbl, full magazine, Beach’s style combination front sight, semi-buckhorn rear sight and Lyman combination tang sight. Mounted with uncheckered straight grain American walnut with straight stock & crescent buttplate. This rifle was probably made within the 1st two weeks of 1892 production. These little rifles were the successor to the Model 1873 and chambered in the same calibers. They were extremely popular with the buying public. They were, in reality a “working man’s gun”. As such, they usually saw hard service, outdoors, under adverse circumstances, and are rarely found today with high orig finish. CONDITION: Very fine to extremely fine. Bbl & magazine tube retain about 98% strong orig blue with one small cleaned area on bottom of magazine tube that is now a medium patina. Forend cap retains about 95% orig blue. Receiver also retains about 95% glossy orig blue with light, sharp edge wear & a few small scratches. Hammer retains about 75% orig case colors, faded on top edge. Sides of lever retain bright case colors, turned silver on outer faces. Buttplate retains smoky case colors, being mostly a silver patina. Screws are all fine, hammer screw may be replacement. Wood is sound with a few light scratches & nicks, with stock retaining 95-97% orig varnish, and the forearm about 70% orig varnish, showing wear on bottom near receiver. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. 4-54776 JR272 (12,500-17,500) – Lot 1238
