Excellent Documented Special Order Winchester Semi-Deluxe Model 1894 Lever Action Rifle with Factory Letter

The accompanying factory letter lists this rifle with a round barrel in .32-40 caliber, plain trigger, checkered plain pistol grip stock and half magazine when received in the warehouse on November 3, 1904 and shipped the next day. The rifle is fitted with a combination Beach front sight, elevation adjustable rear sight, and a tang peep sight. The top of the barrel is stamped with the two-line address/patent dates marking ahead of the rear sight and "32-40" at the breech. The hammer, lever and buttplate are casehardened, the loading gate is nitre blue, and the remaining surfaces are blued. The straight grain walnut forearms and pistol grip stock have factory "I" checkering, a seldom encountered style of checkering. The buttstock has a hard rubber Winchester grip cap and a solid crescent buttplate. The assembly number "20005" is marked on the left side of the lower tang and the butt of the stock.

ConditionExcellent, retaining 90% plus original blue finish with thinning on the balance. 70% original nitre blue remains on the loading gate. 75% original case colors remain on the hammer and lever, and patterns of original case colors remain on the buttplate. The wood is also excellent with scattered light scratches. Mechanically excellent. A worthy addition to any Winchester collection.
