A carbine such as this would have been ideal for an early 20th century cattleman to pair with a Colt Frontier Six Shooter, allowing him to carry only one type of ammunition. This Model 1892 was manufactured in 1918 with standard markings including Winchester factory oval proofs on the barrel and receiver at the breech, and below the barrel proof is a small unidentified diamond shaped stamping. Fitted with pinned blade front and folding ladder rear sights, as well as a saddle ring on the left of the receiver. Mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a carbine buttplate. Provenance: The Collection of David L. DeLullo

Very fine, retaining 80% plus original blue finish with thinning to brown on the balance, some pitting towards the muzzle, and a mixed patina on the buttplate. The re-oiled wood is fine with minimal handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
