This rifle was originally manufactured in 1904, and it features a 26 inch full octagon barrel, a pistol grip stock, a beautiful rust blued metal finish and a color casehardened hammer, loading lever and crescent buttplate. Additionally, this rifle has three full form inlaid game animals: two on the left side and one on the right side. Both are in woodland scenes on the sides of the receiver, and both are surrounded with excellent fine English roll engraving with large geometric accent patterns and geometric border. This wonderful rifle also includes numerous, extensive gold filled wire borders around the game scenes as well as along many of the borders of the receivers. Additionally, there are several inlaid platinum wire borders intermixed in the gold wire filled borders. The game scenes are masterfully executed throughout. This rifle is actually pictured in the book "Winchester Highly Finished Arms" on page 3 and 4. The game scenes/engraving depicted are actually copies of the original Winchester number 2 pattern. "F" style pattern of hand carving and fine line checkering is on the stock and forend. The rifle has been engraved by the Master Engraver Neil Hermsen; his initials and engraver symbol (N/engraving tools/H) are found behind the trigger. The left side of the receiver shows two deer standing in a woodland scene, and a single standing large bull moose is on the right side. The underside of the receiver shows a detailed intermixed geometric pattern of both gold and platinum wire inlays. The fine scroll engraving is also on the muzzle and breech end of the barrel, underside of the receiver, sides of the forend cap, sides of the cocking lever and heel and toe area of the buttplate. The engraving covers approximately 65% of the rifle's metal surface. The intricate and detailed gold wire inlays are found on the rear of the forend cap, the front edge of the receiver, both sides (the flats) of the receiver and on the heel of the buttplate. Additionally, the muzzle and breech end of the barrel also have two barrel bands: one band of gold inlaid wire and the one platinum wire inlay. The rifle is fitted with a extra fancy, deluxe pistol grip walnut stock and forend beautifully hand carved in the Winchester "F" style noted above. The wood has been highly hand polished and varnished. The top of the barrel has been roll marked with the two-line factory style markings of: "MANUFACTURED BY THE/WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO./NEW HAVEN CONN U.S.A. PATENTED AUGUST 21. 1894" The caliber marking "32 W.S." is stamped in front of the receiver. Additionally, the flat area of the rear sight also has platinum wire inlays, and it has a half-gold blade sporting front sight. The upper tang is marked "MODEL 1894-WINCHESTER-TRADE MARK-" . The rifle is accompanied by a "Winchester Highly Finished Arms" catalog by Doug Turnbull Restoration.
