Lot 40: Antique Winchester Model 1894 Lever Action Rifle

Manufactured in 1896. It is fitted with combination Beach front, elevation adjustable rear and tang peep sights. The top barrel flat is marked with the two-line address ahead of the rear sight and "32-40" at the breech. Mounted on a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with crescent buttplate.

Fine. The rifle retains 60% plus original blue finish with the balance a mix of smooth brown and gray patinas. 30% original case colors remain on the hammer and lever. The loading gate retains 30% original nitre blue. The reoiled wood is very good with a long hairline crack near the upper tang, a couple small missing chips and some minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
