Description:This Winchester Model 1890 rifle was manufactured in 1905 with a flip up Lyman combination front and elevation adjustable rear sporting sights on an octagon barrel marked with the two-line New Haven address and patent dates and "22 SHORT" at the breech. The three-line model and trademark information is stamped on the upper tang and the serial number is on the lower tang. Fitted with a tang mounted peep sight. Mounted with a walnut straight grip stock, casehardened crescent buttplate and hammer, and 12 groove slide handle.
Rating Definition:Fine with 40% of the original blue finish displaying areas of edge wear, small surface scratches, and cleaned pitting under the blue. Markings have lost some of their sharp edges but are clear and legible. The wood is also fine with scattered small dents, scratches and light general handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
