Description:

This is an absolutely beautiful and highly custom embellished example of a Winchester lever action rifle. It has a beautiful rust blued metal finish with a color casehardened hammer, loading lever and crescent buttplate. It was a special order rifle in that it has a pistol grip stock with a 24 inch full octagon barrel with sporting front and rear sights, and it was manufactured in 1901 and subsequently custom embellished. This specific Model 1892 rifle is actually pictured in his book "Winchester Highly Finished Arms" on page 19 and 20. It has been masterfully custom embellished in a Winchester number 10 style pattern that has an oval panel game scene on the left side that depicts a large male deer in a wooded scene and fine English scroll type engraving on the right side around the loading gate. The engraving covers approximately 35% plus of the rifle's metal surface. It is currently fitted with a beautiful, extra fancy, 3s walnut stock and forend. Both have been beautiful hand checkered in a Winchester "H" style pattern on the side of the forend and pistol grip area. 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.", with the caliber markings of "44 W.C.F." stamped in front of the receiver. The upper tang is marked "MODEL 1892/-WINCHESTER-/ PAT. OCT. 14. 1894" . The rifle is accompanied by a "Winchester Highly Finished Arms" catalog by Doug Turnbull Restoration.
