As the spiritual successor of the Model 1873, the Model 1892 was popular in the West for much the same reason, its ability to be paired with a Colt Single Action Army revolver chambered in the same caliber. The accompanying factory letter states the rifle was received in the warehouse on September 16, 1896, and shipped on January 7, 1897, with an octagon barrel in desirable .44 caliber and plain trigger. The rifle is fitted with a dovetail blade front sight and an elevation adjustable rear sight. The top barrel flat is stamped with the two-line Winchester address ahead of the rear sight and "44 W.C.F." at the breech. The upper tang has the three-line model/patent date marking. The straight grip stock is fitted with a crescent buttplate.

Very good, retaining 30% original blue finish with a smooth gray patina on the balance and minor pitting. The refinished wood is also very good with a repair at the upper tang, overall having the look of a well-cared for working gun. Mechanically excellent.
