This rifle was a modification of the Model 1902 without a traditional trigger.

Standard markings and features including "THUMB TRIGGER MODEL" and 1899 and 1905 patent dates marked on top of the barrel. Fixed sights and one-piece straight grip gumwood stained stock with a black hard rubber Winchester buttplate. Winchester sold approx. 76,000 of these rifles between 1904 and 1923.

Very good overall with 89% of the original blue finish displaying scattered age spots as well as scattered areas of mild pitting, spotting, and a few nicks. The wood is very good with attractive color and scattered light scratches as well as light pressure indentations. Mechanically excellent.
