Unfortunately, due to vague Winchester shipping records, the identity of “CSM” may never be known. The top barrel flat has the standard two-line address and the caliber marking at the breech. The upper tang is marked with the three-line model, trademark, and patent information, and the serial number is marked on the bottom of the receiver. The left side of the lower tang is marked “2467 XXX”, with “2467” repeated in the stock inlet and on the butt of the stock under the buttplate along with “94”. It is fitted with a set of “sporting” sights featuring a German silver blade front and an elevation adjustable buckhorn rear. It is mounted with a very finely figured, “H” pattern checkered forearm and pistol grip stock that has a hard rubber grip cap and a crescent buttplate.
CONDITION: Exceptionally fine, retains 85% plus of the original blue finish with some scattered light speckling
of brown patina, primarily on the nose cap, receiver, and takedown collar. 70% of the vibrant original case colors remain on the lever and hammer with the balance primarily a smooth grey-brown patina. The original nitre blue on
the loading gate has turned colors. The buttplate shows
a grey patina with some brown speckling. The wood is very fine with some scattered light handling marks and
a few minor blemishes in the otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. This is an outstanding opportunity to add a truly scarce, documented, factory engraved and inscribed, special order Winchester deluxe Model 1894 to your collection of fine American arms!
Estimate: 45,000 - 70,000
