Manufactured in 1908, this is a very fine example of a Winchester Model 1894 takedown rifle. There are Winchester factory oval proofs on top of the barrel and receiver at the breech, which started to appear in 1905. The top barrel flat is marked with the two-line address and patent dates and the caliber marking is on the upper left flat at the breech. The upper tang is marked with the three-line model and trademark, and the serial number is marked on the bottom of the receiver. It is fitted with a Lyman beaded blade front sight, a blank filler in the rear sight dovetail, and a Lyman peep sight mounted on the left side of the receiver. It is mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Very fine, retains 70% plus of the original blue finish, faint original case colors on the lever and hammer, and 60% of the original nitre blue on the loading gate, with some light flaking around the takedown collar and faint thinning on the receiver. The wood is fine with some scattered minor dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
