Provenance: The Wayne Connor Collection
Exceptionally fine, retains 85% of the original blue finish, 80% of the original niter blue on the loading gate, and 75% plus of the vibrant original case colors with the balance having thinned to a smooth grey patina, mostly on edges and high spots. The wood is very fine with a nice grain pattern and some scattered light handling marks. Mechanically excellent. Truly an exceptionally fine example of a standard Winchester Model 1894 rifle in the desirable .38-55 W.C.F.!
