Exceptional Well-Documented Antique Winchester Deluxe Model 1890 Slide Action Rifle with Rare Checkered Straight Grip Stock and Factory Letter

This rifle is pictured and identified by serial number on pages 147, 160, and 228 of "Winchester Slide Action Rifles: Volume I" by Ned Schwing, it is also the featured rifle on the cover of the book. According to Schwing, only 73 Deluxe Model rifles with checkered straight grip stocks were manufactured during the casehardened Second Model period of production. Manufactured in 1897. The accompanying factory letter lists this rifle chambered in .22 Short and with a fancy checkered stock when received in the warehouse on August 19, 1897 and shipped the same day. Special order Lyman beaded blade front and unmarked elevation adjustable rear notch sights, second style barrel inscription, "22 SHORT" caliber marking on top barrel flat at the breech, Winchester proofs correctly absent, casehardened Second Model receiver with hidden locking lugs, and standard three-line maker, model, and patent marking on the upper tang. Highly figured XX fancy walnut 12 groove slide handle and deluxe checkered straight grip stock with casehardened crescent buttplate. The left side of the lower tang is marked "3677 XX," and the end of the buttstock is marked with matching assembly number "3677" over "90". The inside of the buttplate is marked "416".

ConditionExtremely fine with 85% original blue finish on the barrel and breech bolt, some small scattered scratches and nicks, slightly dented muzzle with a dark brown patina, and bright slide retraction marks visible on the left side of magazine tube. The receiver retains 60% plus vivid case colors with areas thinning to an attractive dove gray patina and scattered specks of surface oxidation. The wood is excellent with attractive figure, crisp checkering, and dark original case colors on the buttplate with mild edge wear. Mechanically excellent. You may wait a lifetime to find another!
