- Serial no. 446982, 32-40 WCF cal., 26 inch octagon bbl., blue finish, walnut stock. The Model 1894, like many other Winchester lever actions, saw
widespread use in the American West well into the 20th century by ranchers and farmers due to their firepower and rugged dependability. As “the ultimate lever
gun” for over a century, the Winchester Model 1894 rifle holds a special place in the hearts of collectors, and as a high condition example, this Model 1894 will make a
great addition to any lever action collection. Manufactured in 1909. The rifle is fitted with a dovetail blade front sight and an elevation adjustable rear sight. The upper

Winchester Model 1892 Lever Action Takedown Rifle - Serial no. 248891, 32 WCF
cal., 24 inch round bbl., blue finish, walnut stock. Manufactured in 1903. This is a very fine
example of a documented takedown Winchester Model 1892 rifle. The Model 1892 was
incredibly popular in the American West due to their ability to pair with a Colt Single Action Army
revolver and share ammunition, and remained so into the age of the automobile. Surviving examples in high condition are
becoming difficult to encounter. The rifle is fitted with a dovetail blade front sight and an elevation adjustable rear sight. The top of
the barrel has the two-line Winchester legend ahead of the rear sight and “32 WCF” at the breech. The upper tang has the three-line model/trade mark information, and the
underside of the frame has the serial number. It is mounted with nicely figured plain walnut forearm and straight grip stock. The buttstock is fitted with a crescent buttplate.
CONDITION: Very fine overall, retains 85% plus original blue finish, 75% vivid case colors on the lever and hammer, and 70% original nitre blue on the loading gate with the balance mostly a
smooth grey patina with some scattered speckling of brown. The otherwise very fine wood has a few scattered light dings and scratches, and a small barely visible chip at the toe. Mechanically
excellent. A solid representative example of a Winchester Model 1892 takedown rifle.
Estimate: 4,000 - 6,000
