Included in this lot is a Winchester 1894 early octagon rifle in rare and desirable .25-35 caliber, serial number 101592, made in 1900. The 1894 rifles of this early vintage were very popular with the Klondike gold seekers as well as with big game hunters on both sides of the Mississippi River. Many also found their way south of the border and played a major role in the Mexican Revolution as well as border skirmishes with Americans. The standard caliber for this model was .30WCF (.30 Winchester Center Fire or .30-30) with the caliber .25-35 a limited production chambering being scarce and seldom seen today. This 1894 is an excellent example that displays a patina’d blue on the barrel and magazine tube as well as an aged blue on the receiver. All screw heads are good as are all the original and correct Winchester markings on the barrel and upper tang. The rifle still retains the factory buckhorn rear sight along with a dovetailed front sight. The bore shows consistent deep rifling and the action is very tight. The stock, with classic crescent butt plate, and forearm are also in fine condition and show extremely tight wood to metal fit. This 120 year old Winchester 1894 is in good condition than normally encountered and is seldom seen in rare .25-35 caliber. Serial Number: 101592.
