This is a scarce special order takedown variation of the Winchester Model 1892 with plain fancy wood as manufactured in 1893. The rifle is also in well above average condition for an antique Model 1892. The Model 1892 was one of Winchester's most popular lever actions. Early production examples of this working man's rifle surviving in high condition, let alone an example with extra features such as offered here, are becoming increasingly difficult to find, and when found are highly prized by today's collectors. The rifle is equipped with a dovetail blade front sight and an elevation adjustable buckhorn rear sight. The top barrel flat is stamped with the two-line New Haven address legend ahead of the rear sight and the caliber designation "32 WCF" at the breech. The upper tang has the three-line model/patent marking. The underside of the receiver carries the serial number. The un-checkered forearm and straight grip stock are select grade walnut. The buttstock is fitted with a crescent buttplate. Includes a copy of George Gamble and R.L. Wilson's "A Life's Tapestry of a Collector, The Gamble Collection" where this rifle is pictured and identified on pages 404-405. Provenance: The George F. Gamble Collection
