serial #476928, 30 W.C.F., 26'' nickel steel octagon barrel with full magazine and a very good bore showing scattered pinprick and light pitting but strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces retain about 75% original blue with light to moderate wear on the high edges and contact points, light toning to gray under bright light on the barrel, and light handling marks and speckled old oxidation. The lever and hammer have toned to a smoky gray case-hardened patina with mellowed undertones of case color, light operational wear, and spots of oxidation staining on the loop. The straight grip walnut stock and forend are in very good plus condition with a shallow bruise on the left side of the forend, a couple light dings, and light handling marks; the curved steel buttplate and forend cap have toned to gray with general oxidation staining. The two-line Winchester barrel address and other factory markings are intact and clear. The rifle is sighted with a small German silver blade front sight, showing a light ding atop, and a Winchester express-style rear sight with one standing and two folding leaves, the middle leaf missing its left half, and the takedown system functions as it should with the hanger somewhat loose in its dovetail. An honest 1910-made takedown rifle. (14A11762-10) {C&R} (1200/1800)
