Model 1894 Takedown Lever Action Two Barrel Set Rifle with Case - Serial no. 290121, 38-55 WCF cal., 26
inch octagon bbl., blue finish, walnut stock. As “the ultimate lever gun” for over a century, the Model 1894 has
truly become the most famous and popular sporting rifle of all time. This incredible cased two barrel takedown set
comes from The Tom Selleck Collection. The included letter from Tom Selleck reads: “I was happy to see the positive
response to the ‘Roger Kurtz Custom Order’ Winchester 1873 Deluxe #37643” sold by Rock Island Auction in August
2023. “As I said at the time, Roger is one of our best master gun makers and having passed on, his work should
always be celebrated. So I am proud to offer a spectacular example of his work, a Winchester ‘Custom Order’ 1894
Deluxe, engraved, two-barrel rifle Serial #290121 engraved by master engraver Johnny Weyerts. The oak and leather
case was built for the rifle by master case-maker Ray Sterck. All the parts are original and it was done just as if it
came from the Winchester factory. It has all the bells and whistles and is good to go. Thanks, [signed] Tom Selleck”
