*LATE DELUXE WINCHESTER MODEL ’94 TAKEDOWN LEVER ACTION RIFLE.

SN 947401. Cal. 32 Winchester Special. Beautiful deluxe rifle with 26″ rnd bbl, full magazine, takedown, Lyman front sight and semi-buckhorn rear sight. Mounted with about 2X American walnut with H-style checkered forearm and straight stock with crescent buttplate. It appears that this rifle was produced in about 1924 in the waning years of lever action popularity after the advent of the more powerful bolt action rifles. By 1924 there were few full length rifles being produced and of those extremely few in takedown deluxe configuration. By that time these rifles were primarily used for hunting and this rifle would likely have belonged to someone of reasonable wealth or great importance. It might have been a special presentation to someone. CONDITION: Very fine to extremely fine. Bbl & magazine tube retain about 98% crisp orig blue, as does the forend cap; takedown ring is a dull blue, possibly with some light touch-up blue added; receiver retains 97-98% bright orig blue with sharp edge wear and a couple of small scratches; bottom & side front edges are lightly thinned. Wood is sound with a few light handling marks and retains most of a lightly restored finish. Buttplate may be restored. Mechanics are crisp; bright shiny bore. 4-47940 JR26 (15,000-20,000) – Lot 1250
