Exceptional Antique Special Order Winchester Model 1892 Lever Action Rifle

Manufactured in 1897, this is an exceptionally fine example of a special ordered Winchester Model 1892 rifle. These rifles and carbines, like the Model 1873 before, were highly prized in the American West due to being chambered in many of the same cartridges as Colt's Single Action Army revolver. These guns were often viewed as a "working gun", seeing hard use on the frontier, leaving very few early production examples in high condition like this one. The top of the barrel is marked with the two-line address and the caliber marking at the breech. The upper tang has the 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" featuring a German silver blade front and elevation adjustable buckhorn rear, and it has a special ordered "button" magazine. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

ConditionExceptionally fine, retains 85% of the original blue finish showing some thinning in a few areas and edges, 60% plus of the original case colors on the hammer and lever, 50% of the original nitre blue on the loading gate, and a few very small scattered patches of light pitting on the barrel where the blue has thinned slightly. The wood is very fine with some scattered minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
