*SPECIAL ORDER WINCHESTER MODEL 1894 DELUXE TAKEDOWN LEVER ACTION RIFLE. SN 881878. Cal. 30 WCF. Exceptional deluxe takedown rifle with 26″ oct bbl, with late style full blue single screw express front sight and flat top sporting rear sight, 1/2 magazine. Mounted in fancy American walnut with extra finish and style H checkering on forend and capped pistol grip stock with crescent buttplate. The assembly number (500) appears on the left side of the bottom tang beneath the wood. This number also appears on the stock beneath the buttplate. CONDITION: Fine to very fine. Bbl retains 95% bright blue finish with several light scratches associated with takedown mechanism and assorted light handling marks. Forend cap and takedown ring retain 90% blue with some general thinning of the finish. Receiver and lever retain 95% bright blue with only sharp edge wear and some light flaking at the hammer. The buttplate is turning to patina with scattered light to moderate pitting. Wood is sound with the exception of a tiny feathering crack along the left top tang. Wood shows a fair amount of usage with several significant scratches and areas of finish degradation on the buttstock. It appears as if touch up finish has been rubbed into the back half of the stockstock more recently, but does not detract from its overall appearance. Mechanics are crisp. Bore is bright and shiny. 4-33613 WD48 (12,500-17,500)
