The Model 1894, like many other Winchester lever actions, saw widespread use in the American West well into the 20th century by ranchers and farmers due to their firepower and rugged dependability. Manufactured in 1904. The top flat of the barrel has the standard two-line address/patent marking and the "32-40" caliber marking at the breech. The three-line model, trademark, and patent information is on the upper tang, and the serial number is marked on the bottom of the receiver. It is fitted with a Marble No. 6 beaded blade front sight and an elevation adjustable notch rear sight. It's mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate. Included factory letter states rifle was received in the warehouse on June 27, 1904 and shipped on June 30 with an octagon barrel in .32-40 caliber and plain trigger.

Fine, retains 50% of the original blue finish, faint case colors and original nitre blue with the balance having thinned to a mottled grey-brown patina, most noticeably on the receiver and edges. The refinished wood is very good with some scattered light handling marks throughout and some areas of dark staining, typical of a rifle that was frequently used but cared for. Mechanically excellent.
