serial #4410, 32-40, 26'' octagon barrel with a bright very good bore showing some scattered specks of oxidation and pinprick to perhaps light pits, but still with strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this 1895-made rifle have toned to a light brown patina with strong remnants of original blue in the protected areas, a few specks of old oxidation, and some light dings and handling marks; the lever has similarly toned to a mixed brown and silvery case-hardened patina, still showing some attractive case color in the protected areas. The straight grip walnut stock and forend are in very good plus condition with a few light dings and some scattered handling marks, the forend cap and curved steel buttplate toned to a lightly oxidized brown patina. The top barrel flat simply reads ''—MANUFACTURED BY THE— / —WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO. NEW HAVEN, CONN. U.S.A. —'' with the caliber marking against the receiver, both clear if lightly softened, the serial number remains strong, and the tang markings are concealed beneath the aperture sight. The rifle is sighted with a Lyman combination front sight, semi-buckhorn sporting-style rear sight, and the aforementioned tang-mounted aperture rear sight; a few of the screws show very light slot wear. A truly early Model 1894 rifle in a solid state of preservation, fitting well into any Winchester collection. (14B11669-2) {ANTIQUE} (3000/5000)
