SN 122220. Cal. 32 WS. Deluxe ’94 with 24″ oct bbl, full magazine, take down, half nickel front sight with screw and full buck horn rear sight. Mounted with about 3-X, center crotch, flame grain American walnut with H-style checkered forearm that is 9-3/8″ long and capped pistol grip stock with crescent buttplate. Left side of lower tang, under the wood is marked with the assembly number “1208”, “XX” and 2 or 3 other small symbols. Matching assembly number is found on rear face of buttstock under the buttplate along with “94”. Buttstock has a repaired chunk out of the toe that emanates through the lower buttplate screw. Accompanied by a Cody Firearms Museum letter which identifies this rifle in Cal. 30, oct bbl, plain trigger, oil finished, checkered, pistol grip stock and take down, received in warehouse February 21,1902 and shipped July 17,1902 to order # 147720. It is readily apparent that this rifle was returned to Winchester and re-barreled to its current length and caliber. Receiver ring and bbl have the “WP” proof mark which did not come into general use until late 1905. Unfortunately the records do not show a returned and repaired entry, but there is no doubt that this is factory work. CONDITION: Fine, all matching. Buttplate is un-numbered. Bbl retains about 98% strong orig blue with very light sharp edge wear. Magazine tube retains about 85% orig blue with wear around the magazine band from take down. Forend cap retains about 95% orig blue and the bbl extension is a silver brown patina, possibly with touch-up. Receiver retains about 75% thinning orig blue, showing sharp edge wear and worn to gray on the bottom. Hammer retains strong case colors, moderately faded and lever faded case colors on sides turned silver on outer faces. Buttstock has a repaired toe, otherwise wood is sound and retains most of an old, very light restored finish. Mechanics are fine. Bright shiny bore. 49432-12 JR C&R (7,500-12,500) – Lot 3091
