Fine Winchester Model 1894 Lever Action Saddle Ring Carbine in Desirable .38-55 WCF Caliber

Manufactured in 1906. The top of the barrel has the two-line address/patent date ahead of the rear sight and "38-55" at the breech. The Winchester oval proof is stamped on the barrel ahead of the caliber marking and on top of the receiver at the breech. The upper tang is stamped with the three-line model/maker/trade mark information (gold filled), and the serial number is stamped on the underside of the frame. It has a pinned blade bead front sight, folding ladder rear sight, saddle stud with ring on the left side of the receiver, and is mounted on a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with carbine buttplate.

ConditionFine. The carbine retains 80% original blue finish with some muzzle and high point wear and some thinning to a smooth gray patina on the receiver. There are also some minor scratches on the receiver. 50% of the original niter blue remains on the loading gate. The hammer and lever have a mix of vivid original case colors and smooth gray patina. The buttplate has a smooth mottled gray patina. The refinished wood is very good with some scattered minor dents and scratches. The markings are crisp and clear. The action is excellent.
