Exceptionally Fine Antique Special Order Winchester Deluxe Model 1894 Lever Action Rifle with Factory Letter - Serial no. 20037, 30 WCF
cal., 26 inch octagon bbl., blue finish, walnut stock. As “the ultimate lever gun” for over a century, the Winchester Model 1894 rifle holds a special place in the hearts of collectors. These “working guns” were not often ordered with special, extra cost features, making deluxe variations highly sought after
by collectors, especially those in high condition. This exceptional factory documented Winchester special order deluxe Model 1894 rifle is worthy of the finest collection. The accompanying factory letter lists this rifle with a
round barrel in .25-35 caliber, plain trigger, checkered pistol grip stock and hard rubber shotgun buttplate when received in the warehouse on March 19, 1897 and shipped on March 23.
