This desirable early production Winchester Model 1892 lever action rifle was manufactured in 1893. The included factory letter confirms the rifle configuration, caliber, octagon barrel and plain trigger. The rifle was received in the warehouse on March 22, 1893, and shipped on August 29, 1893, in order number 23543. The rifle is fitted with a blade front sight, elevation adjustable rear sight and full length magazine. The top barrel flat is stamped with the two-line address marking ahead of the rear sight, and the caliber marking "32 W.C.F." is stamped at the breech. The upper tang is marked "MODEL 1892/-WINCHESTER-/PAT. OCT. 14. 1884." The serial number is located on the underside of the frame. Mounted on a smooth walnut forearm with steel forend cap and straight grip stock fitted with a crescent buttplate.

Very fine. The rifle retains 80% plus original blue finish thinning to a brown. The hammer and lever retain 40% original case colors. The wood is very fine with a barely noticeable sliver of wood missing near the frame and some minor pressure dents. Mechanically excellent.
