Exceptionally fine, retains 85% of the original blue finish, 50% of the original case colors, and 30% of the original niter blue on the loading gate with some light edge/high spot wear. The front sight is period modified (see above). The wood is very fine with a few scattered minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent. This is an exceptionally fine example of a standard configuration Winchester Model 1892 rifle that would look fantastic in your collection!
