FINE CUSTOM ENGRAVED TAKEDOWN DELUXE WINCHESTER MODEL 1894 LEVER ACTION RIFLE. . SN 117530. Cal. 32-40. Beautiful custom engraved rifle by the renowned Cody Wyoming engraver Joseph.

It is mounted with very highly figured flame and shell grain, H-styled, checkered American walnut with straight stock and smooth steel shotgun buttplate. The receiver and forend cap are silver plated with the balance of the metal blued. Receiver engraved in Bulino style with the large vignette of a western hunter in the center holding a Winchester rifle aimed at a bull elk in the left foreground and a crouching cougar in the right background, all set in a very detailed mountain scene on the left side. The right side also has a very large vignette of a treed cougar with two hounds, all set in a wonderfully detailed mountain scene. The top of the receiver ring has a simple but beautiful spread-winged eagle with the balance of the receiver covered with foliate and floral arabesque patterns, all with a very fine stippled background. The small flat on the bottom of the receiver just forward of the floorplate opening has the engraver’s signature in script “By Joseph”. The forearm cap is engraved to match. The sides of the lever and the takedown ring have very tasteful foliate gold wire inlays. The buttplate is blued with engraving patterns at the heel and toe with a wonderful gold wire inlay outline of a snarling cougar head and the silhouette of a mountain range with five gold stars above. The mag band and muzzle have gold bands and the caliber marking is in gold. Several of the screw heads are nicely engraved. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Overall retains virtually all of its beautiful custom finish to both metal and wood and appears to be unfired since finishing. Mechanics are fine. Bright shiny bore. 4-33470 JR83 (6,000-10,000)
