Manufactured in 1923, this is an excellent example of a Winchester Model 92 saddle ring carbine. The Model 1892, as the spiritual successor of the Model 1873, found wide popularity in the American west, particularly due to being chambered in many of the same calibers as the legendary Colt Single Action Army revolver, just like the iconic '73 had been previously. These common caliber offerings allowed for someone on the frontier to carry both a carbine or rifle and a sidearm chambered in the same cartridge, only having to source one type of ammunition. This ability to be paired with Colt's "Peacemaker" carried the Model 1892 well into the 20th century where it was used by many in the west as a rugged working gun, leaving very few examples in exceptional condition like this one available for collectors. It is marked with standard Winchester factory oval proofs on the barrel and receiver at the breech, which began to appear in 1905. The upper left of the barrel is marked with the standard two-line address and patent dates, while the caliber marking is at the breech. The upper tang is marked with the standard three-line model designation and trademark information. The serial number is marked on the bottom of the receiver. It is fitted with a pinned blade front sight, with some period-added silver solder on the rear face, a folding ladder rear sight, and a saddle ring on the left of the receiver. It is mounted with a smooth forearm with three small carved tally marks on the left and a straight grip stock with a carbine buttplate.

Excellent, retains 95% plus of the original blue finish, with some mild flaking on top of the breech block, light wear on the heel of the buttplate, and scattered small specks of brown freckling, on the buttplate tang and the bottom of the receiver. The wood is also excellent with the three marks mentioned above and otherwise a few scattered light handling marks. Mechanically excellent. These Winchester Model 1892 carbines are seldom seen in the high condition this example shows, do not miss this opportunity to add it to your collection!
