Manufactured in 1899 as a Second Model takedown with the desirable, early, casehardened receiver, which were only standard until 1901. The top barrel flat has the two-line Winchester address and the "22 SHORT" caliber marking at the breech. The three-line trademark, model, and patent information is marked on the upper tang, and the serial number is on the lower tang. It is fitted with a beaded blade front sight and elevation adjustable notch rear sight. It is mounted with a twelve-groove slide handle and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

Excellent, retains 95% plus of the original blue finish and 90% plus of the vibrant original case colors with the balance mostly a smooth grey patina, primarily on the buttplate, and a small patch of light pitting on the upper right flat of the barrel. The wood is also excellent with a few scattered minor dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
