Description:

Manufactured in 1924. Lyman beaded blade front and elevation adjustable rear sights, standard Winchester markings including the factory oval proof on top of the barrel and receiver at the breech, half magazine with takedown latch and smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a forend cap and serrated steel buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Fine. The rifle retains 70% original blue finish with the balance between smooth gray and brown patinas. The forend cap has been refinished and shows a mixture of blue finish and smooth brown patina. There are areas of deep pitting on the buttplate and an area of minor pitting on the lever. The reoiled wood is very good with a few short stress cracks radiating from the upper tang and some scattered minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
