Offered here is an elaborate United States Constitution 200th Anniversary Model 94s that is the only example this writer can recall we have offered. These short rifles were built exclusively for Cherry's of Greensboro, North Carolina. An example of this extremely rare issue is found on pages 300 and 358 of R.L. Wilson's "Winchester: An American Legend" where it is stated that only eight were made. The barrel features two bands of gold inlay at the muzzle, one thick and one thin, a single band at the breech, gold inlaid barrel markings with "We The People of the United States" on the top flat, and a spray of floral scroll on all of the upper flats. The coin receiver is engraved on the right side with floral scroll engraving surrounding an oval with a gold inlaid raised relief bald eagle clutching an olive branch and arrows with ribbons reading "UNITED STATES of America" and "1787 200th Anniversary 1987" above and below respectively and a patriotic shield ahead of the loading gate. The whole of the right side is engraved with a scene showing twenty-five members of the Constitutional Convention with George Washington at the center. The scene is surrounded by floral scroll intertwined around a gold inlaid raised relief border. The upper tang has a ribbon engraved with a raised relief "IOWA" inlaid. The underside and lever are also engraved to match. The left side under the scene is signed by the world renowned Italian Master Engraver Bottega C. Giovanelli. Mounted with exhibition quality multipoint checkered walnut forend with engraved nosecap and straight grip stock with engraved crescent buttplate.

Excellent overall, retaining 99% plus original blue, gold, and coin finishes with limited light handling marks, some spots of discoloration on the buttplate, and crisp engraving and stock checkering. Mechanically excellent. This would make a standout piece in any modern Winchester collection!
