Superb Highly Embellished Winchester Model 1892 Lever Action Rifle in Desirable 44 WCF

This is an absolutely beautiful example of a highly custom embellished Winchester lever action rifle. It has a beautiful rust blued metal finish with a color casehardened hammer, loading lever and crescent buttplate, and this style of Model 1892 rifle is pictured in the book "Winchester Highly Finished Arms" on page 17 and 18. It has been masterfully restored and engraved in a Winchester number 9 pattern that depicts an oval panel game scene on each side and has an "H" pattern checkered stock and forend. The left side of the receiver shows a large running buck, and both panel scenes are surrounded by an fine scroll engraving with a geometric pattern border that is also on the breech end of the barrel and the forend cap. The engraving covers 50% of the rifle's metal surface. It is fitted with a straight grip walnut stock with the noted "H" pattern checkering. The stock has a fancy 1x wood pattern, and it has a straight grain forend. The wood has been highly hand polished and varnished. This rifle was manufactured in 1904, and 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.-", with the caliber markings of "44 W.C.F." stamped in front of the receiver. The upper tang is marked "MODEL 1892/-WINCHESTER-/TRADE MARK" . The rifle is accompanied by a "Winchester Highly Finished Arms" catalog by Doug Turnbull Restoration.

Rating definitionNear mint as professionally embellished by Doug Turnbull Restoration with 99% of the current blue and case colors as professionally embellished. The buttstock and forend are also in near mint condition with the beautiful hand rubbed varnish finish with excellent checkering.
