Lot #3333:
(C) SPECIAL ORDER HALF PLATE WINCHESTER MODEL 90 SLIDE ACTION RIFLE.
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/18/2025
Dates to 1925. Rather scarce so-called "half plate" with action, bolt, trigger guard assembly, and rifle buttplate factory nickel plated, and blued octagon barrel, 2/3 tube magazine, a dovetailed front sight that is protected by a skeletal globe, the 1901 patent date flat top sporting rear sight, take down, and walnut stock with small grooved forearm. The frame and barrel have the PW proof but the barrel also shows the encircled "P" proof, indicatinmg that this is a non-factory replacement barrel, not originally installed by Winchester and was shipped from the factory for mail-order replacement. CONDITION: Excellent. The nickel plating remains at least 85% with minor oxidation and nominal thinning. The barrel retains nearly all of its factory blue finish, sharp barrel legends, with nominal handling marks. Wood is excellent and proud with nominal handling. Mechanically sound. Bore is bright. This is a very sharp little rifle.
