This highly attractive, RARE and fresh silver plated, John Ulrich engraved and signed Deluxe Model 1890 rifle is identified by serial number and pictured on page 162 of "Winchester Slide Action Rifles: Volume I" by Ned Schwing. The included factory letter confirms the serial number, .22 short caliber, checkered pistol grip stock, and November 7, 1901, date of shipment. It also states the rifle was returned January 25, 1902. The letter makes no mention of any type of finish, barrel, or any other special order features, which is common of Winchester and is particularly prevalent of their exhibition guns. Special order globe front and tang mounted Lyman flip up rear peep sight, matching silver plated filler block in the rear sight dovetail, second style barrel inscription, "22 SHORT" caliber marking on upper flat at the breech, Second Model receiver with hidden locking lugs, and standard markings on the upper tang.

The lower tang is signed "J. ULRICH" between the trigger guard and serial number marking. The rifle has a full silver plated finish including the magazine tube, slide bar, hammer and trigger. The chart on page 221 of the above mentioned book states only 8 silver plated Model 1890s were produced in the Second Model manufacturing cycle.
