*DELUXE ENGRAVED & INSCRIBED WINCHESTER MODEL 1894 TAKEDOWN LEVER ACTION RIFLE.

SN 188984. Cal. 25-35. Rare ’94 with 26″ oct bbl, full magazine and Lyman front sight, no provision for rear sight and a Lyman combination tang sight. Bbl address is of the small size and top left flat over the chamber area is marked “NICKEL STEEL BARREL / ESPECIALLY FOR SMOKELESS POWDER”. Mounted with about 2X flame & shell grain American walnut with “F” carved forearm and capped pistol grip buttstock that has crescent buttplate. Left side of lower tang, under the wood, is marked with the assembly number “17583” and “X”. Matching assembly number is also found on rear face of buttstock and inside toe of buttplate. Rear face of buttstock is also marked “94”. Receiver is engraved by John Ulrich in #6 style which consists of the large vignette of a Rocky Mountain Big Horn sheep standing on a promontory and the right side a standing whitetail buck. Both vignettes are surrounded by very fine foliate arabesque patterns that have fine shaded background. Both sides of receiver have small wavelet borders. Matching engraving patterns extend over the five exposed flats of the bbl around the caliber marking, and on sides of bbl extension, sides of lever, outer face of lever, sides & rear edge of hammer, over receiver ring and bottom edges of receiver. Matching patterns are also on forend cap and buttplate tang. Floorplate is engraved, apparently from the factory “A.E. Hammond”. It seems likely that this was a rifle presented to Mr. Hammond and as such saw very little use although it does appear to have been carried & fired. A Cody Firearms Museum letter has been ordered which will list this rifle in caliber 25-35 with oct bbl, plain trigger, extra finish stock, pistol grip, carved style “F”, Lyman front & rear sights, no rear seat, takedown and $10 engraving in No. 6 pattern, received in warehouse 11 Nov. 03 and shipped next day to Order #200218. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Bbl & magazine tube retain 97-98% crisp orig blue with only very light muzzle end and very fine sharp edge wear with one scratch on top flat near front sight; bbl extension retains about all of its orig blue turned a little dull on bottom of the carry point; receiver retains 95-96% bright orig blue, a little dulled on the carry point bottom edge with some light sharp edge wear; lever, hammer & buttplate retain about all of their bright orig case colors, faded on outer faces of lever and moderately faded on buttplate; forend cap retains about 75% orig blue with the main losses from a scrape on left side. Stock has a series of small gouges on the left side at the buttplate, otherwise wood is sound with a few light creases in the finish and light wear on the forearm at the receiver and overall retains about 98% bright piano varnish finish. Mechanics are crisp, very bright shiny bore. 4-55555 JR348 (25,000-35,000) – Lot 1247
