Winchester Model 1894 Takedown Lever Action Rifle

Manufactured in 1899. Dovetailed blade front and "SMOKELESS/32W.S." marked elevation adjustable notch rear sights. The barrel is marked with the two-line address followed by "32 W.S." on the top flat and the "nickel steel" markings on the upper left flat. The upper tang has the three-line model/patent date information. Smooth forearm straight grip stock with crescent buttplate.

ConditionFine, retains 50% plus original blue finish that is thinning and shows some mild wear on the receiver along with some faint case colors on the lever and hammer. The balance is a smooth grey patina. The trigger and buttplate show some light oxidation. The refinished wood is very good with a few scattered minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
