Lot 3089: Antique Winchester Model 1894 Lever Action Rifle

Manufactured in 1898 with the standard two-line address on the top barrel flat, the three-line model/trademark/patent dates on the upper tang, and the serial number on the bottom of the receiver. It is fitted with a Lyman combination front sight, elevation adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight, and Marble tang mounted peep sight. Mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate. Provenance: The Milan J. Turk Collection

Fine, retains 60% plus of the original blue finish on the barrel, 70% plus of the original blue on the frame, and 40% of the original case colors on the lever and hammer with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina, primarily on the buttplate, edges, and high spots. The wood is also fine with some light scratches and dings scattered throughout. Mechanically excellent.
