The receiver, trigger guard assembly, and buttplate are finished in bright nickel with the barrel, magazine, hammer, and trigger in traditional blue. Fancy birds eye maple 12 groove slide handle and smooth pistol grip stock with Winchester hard rubber grip cap and crescent buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very fine overall. The barrel and magazine tube have 75% of the original blue with cold blue touch up visible on the muzzle, slightly light markings, and mostly artificial brown patina on the magazine tube. The receiver and buttplate retain 90% bright period re-plated nickel finish with areas of a frosted appearance, small surface scratches, and dark spotting on the buttplate. The refinished wood is fine with scattered small dings, attractive color, and several visible cracks at the butt end of the stock. Mechanically excellent. The special order pistol grip birds eye maple wood makes for a rare and eye catching example of a special order Winchester rifle.
