This is an example of a desirable 38-55 chambered pre-WWI produced Winchester Model 1894 rifle as manufactured in 1896. The rifle is equipped with a special order 28" octagon barrel (no factory letter to prove, so we won't). The top flat is marked with the standard two line address ahead of the rear sight, the caliber designation at the breech, and the serial number is marked on the bottom of the receiver. Blade front sight (replacement), adjustable sporting rear sight and full length magazine. Mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a steel end cap and crescent buttplate.

Fine. The rifle retains 60% original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. The hammer and lever retain traces of original case colors. The wood is also fine with some scattered minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
