VERY FINE ENGRAVED WINCHESTER MODEL 92 RIFLE CALIBER 32-20. WINCHESTER 1892 586943 32 WCF MODERN; C&R Cal. 32 WCF. 24" oct bbl with full magazine, plain trigger and crescent butt. Mounted with sporting rear sight and nickel bladed sporting front sight. 2-pc walnut stocks. Dual game scene engraved receiver in the Winchester factory style 9 pattern which consists of the rnd vignette of a running white-tailed buck on the left side and a standing white-tailed buck on the right side. Both vignettes are surrounded by foliate arabesque patterns with fine pearled background and snake and dot border patterns with identical border patterns on top and bottom edges of receiver. Foliate arabesque patterns are also on the top tang and receiver ring with arabesque patterns on all 3 flats over the chamber area. Foliate arabesque patterns are also on the forend cap, heel of buttplate, and all 5 flats around muzzle and front sight. This pattern is observed on the Models 86, 92 and 94, and is pictured and referenced in the fine book, The Book of Winchester Engraving by R. L. Wilson, p. 240. CONDITION: Very good overall, with a very pleasing plum brown patina over most of receiver and magazine. The bbl has a fair amount of faded blue finish in protected areas. Balance is worn slightly bright but shows great character. The 2-pc walnut stocks are quite fine with much factory finish remaining with a reasonable amount of darkening and light bruising at leading edges of buttstock and forearm. The bore is rather dark, however, has strong rifling. Mechanics are excellent and solid. A very attractive engraved 1892 Winchester that has been used and enjoyed and has wonderful eye appeal. 50506-58 TDW (7,500-12,500)
