ANTIQUE, SPECIAL ORDER WINCHESTER MODEL 1892 LEVER ACTION RIFLE.

SN 54278. Cal. .44 WCF (44-40). Standard grade rifle with special order 26″ oct bbl, full magazine, half nickel front sight with screw and semi-buckhorn rear sight. Top flat of bbl has standard roll marking about mid-point with caliber marking over chamber area. Mounted with uncheckered, nicely figured straight grain American walnut with straight stock and crescent buttplate. The Model 1892 was the successor to the Model 1873 and was chambered for the same cartridges. It was an extremely popular model with citizens from all walks of life, and usually saw very hard service, frequently under adverse conditions with limited maintenance. Very few were ever ordered with special features such as the extra length bbl found here. This model was a “working man’s gun” and is rarely found today with high orig finish. CONDITION: Very fine. Bbl & magazine tube retain 95-96% strong orig blue with sharp edge wear on bbl & a few scattered spots of fine surface rust. Receiver retains 93-95% glossy orig blue, strong on the sides with sharp edge wear, thinning over the top & bottom edges. Top & bottom tangs retain strong blue. Hammer shows faded case colors, turned silver on top edge. Lever shows strong case colors on sides, turned silver on outer faces. Buttplate retains traces of case colors, being mostly a silver patina. Wood is sound with light scratches, nicks & dings with the buttstock retaining about 95% orig varnish and the forearm about 60% with hand wear on rear half. Mechanics are crisp, very bright shiny bore. 4-54777 JR273 (6,500-9,500) – Lot 1240
