Description:

Manufactured in 1908, this is an outstanding example of a Winchester Model 1892 saddle ring carbine. These carbines were highly valued in the American West well into the 20th century for their portable firepower and durability. These guns were often purchased and used as working guns in the harsh elements of the Western Frontier and are rarely found in such high condition like this example. It has the standard Winchester factory oval proofs on top of the barrel and receiver at the breech, which were introduced in 1905. The top of the barrel is also marked with the standard two-line address and patent dates, and the caliber is marked on the left at the breech. The three-line model and trademark information is marked on the upper tang, and the serial number is marked on the lower tang. It is fitted with a pinned German silver blade front sight, folding ladder rear sight, and a saddle ring on the left of the receiver. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a carbine buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Exceptionally fine, retains 90% plus of the original blue finish overall with numerous scattered spots of light pitting/spotting and some light saddle ring wear. 80% of the vibrant original case colors remain on the lever and hammer and 85% of the original nitre blue remains on the loading gate. The wood is exceptionally fine with some scattered minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent. High condition Winchester Model 1892 saddle ring carbines like this one are rarely available on the collectors market!
