The Model 1890 was the first slide action produced by Winchester. Dovetail front sight and a adjustable rear sight on a octagon barrel. Top of barrel features the standard two line Winchester address and is marked "22 LONG." near the breech, 3/4 tubular magazine. The barrel, magazine tube and breech bolt are blue, remaining parts are casehardened. serial number appears only on the lower tang. Plain straight grip stock and grooved forearm with crescent casehardened buttplate.

Very fine. Approximately 95% thinning blue remains on the barrel, magazine tube and breech bolt with high edge wear and thinning on the magazine tube and brown patina. Scattered light spotting on the barrel. Approximately 70% of the casehardening colors remain with the receiver, trigger guard, buttplate and most of the right side of the action a smooth gray patina. The remaining casehardening colors are vivid. The right side of the action has a thumb sized area of deep pitting and several small areas of spotting and flashes of bright casehardening colors. The wood is very fine with an area of small pressure dents on the left side of the buttstock and overall scattered minor dings and dents. Markings are clear. Mechanically excellent.
