Rare Documented Factory 12 Inch Barrel Winchester Model 1892 Lever Action Trapper Saddle Ring Carbine with ATF Exemption and Factory Letters

Manufactured in 1905 with standard markings. Fitted with pinned blade front and three-leaf notch rear sights. The factory letter lists this carbine with a rare factory 12 inch barrel in .38 caliber when it was received in the warehouse and shipped on April 3, 1905. The letter from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms lists this carbine as being removed from the purview of the National Firearms Act and classified as a curio and relic. It has been estimated that about five Model 1892s with 12 inch barrels exist; five 12 inch barreled 1892s, including this one, are listed by the BATF as being "cleared." Out of the five listed by the BATF, two are chambered in .38 WCF. Includes a pair of beaver skin mittens and a trapper's game pack/board.

ConditionFair, showing mostly a smooth grey patina and some mild pitting along the wood line on the barrel, as well as the minor dings and marks typically exhibited on these hard working guns. The wood is also fair with similar dings and scratches throughout documenting its years of loyal service and work. Mechanically excellent.
