Per the Madis serial number date published by Winchester, this rifle is legally an antique. The Winchester Collectors Association indicates the rifle was manufactured in 1901. This is a fine example of a standard configuration Winchester Model 1892 rifle in the desirable .25-20 W.C.F. The top barrel flat is marked with the standard two-line address and caliber marking at the breech. The upper tang has the standard three-line model, trademark, and patent marking, and the serial number is marked on the bottom of the receiver. It is fitted with a set of "Sporting" sights, including a German silver blade front and elevation adjustable buckhorn rear. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Fine, retains 60% of the original blue finish, 50% of the vibrant original case colors, and 50% of the bright original nitre blue on the loading gate with some light handling wear primarily on high spots and some light scratches on the sides of the receiver. The wood is very good with some scattered light handling marks and a minor gouge/chip to the right of the upper tang. Mechanically excellent.
