SMOF5153 - EARLY WINCHESTER MODEL 1892 COWBOY GUN SERIAL NUMBER 38764 CALIBER 38/44 The Model 1892 lever action rifle was designed by John M. Browning, one of America’s most prolific and successful gun designers. Winchester asked Browning to design a rifle to replace their Model 1873 and capable of handling the largest black powder cartridges available. The result was the Model 1886. It was an immediate success and Winchester then asked Browning to redesign it to handle pistol caliber cartridges. This resulted in the Model 1892. It used the same action as the Model 1886, but was chambered for 44, 38, 32 and 25 caliber blackpoweder cartridges. The Model 1892 was a smooth handling rifle, well liked by the shooting public. Winchester sold just over a one million of them before production ceased in 1932, but the rifle’s claim to shooting immortality comes because it is the rifle that John Wayne carried (in 44-40 though some claim it was in 32-20) ) in most of his cowboy movies.

We acquired this from a family who ranched in eastern Idaho for many years. The rifle was said to have been carried on many a cattle round up, and the it’s condition supports it. It was made in 1894 and was well used with virtually none of the original blued finish remaining. It also has an assortment of minor dings and scratches on the metal and wood. The bottom of the stock by the butt plate has an old repair, very nicely done, again suggesting regular use on a working ranch. It was certainly shot. The bore retains riflings, but the grooves are dark. The action is tight. We sell all guns as collectibles only. If you want to shoot a gun this old you must have it checked out by a competent gunsmith. A well used but not abused Winchester showing long service on a cattle ranch. The fact that the gun can be transferred without going through a Federal Firearms Licensee is a plus. $1295.00 (View Picture)

SMOF4550 - 13959 WINCHESTER MODEL 95 SADDLE RING CARBINE, .30-40 KRAG CALIBER. SERIAL NUMBER 75914. Serial number 425022, among the last of these guns made. The superb example has all the standard features of this variation. Caliber is .30 Army (30-40 Krag) one of the most popular calibers of the Model 1895 rifles and carbines, and the type used by Teddy Roosevelt in the Spanish American War.

The outstanding feature of this gun is its condition, retaining essentially ALL of the unmarked original wood and metal finish with only some minor "flaking" on the receiver sides and upper tang. (The flaking has not penetrated to the bare metal but has resulted only in a thinning of the effected areas. Bore is as nice as the outside. About 90% blue on the buttplate. Stock is free from all but a few tiny handling marks. About as nice as you will find one of these any more, and the Model 1895s are notorious for the flaking finish on the receivers, so it may be a futile quest looking for one any better. This is from the estate of a past President of the Winchester Arms Collectors Association, and deserves a good home where it will be appreciated. $3450.00 (View Picture)

SMOF4557 - 13967 WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 RIFLE IN .22 LONG CALIBER. SERIAL NUMBER 75914. Serial number 569336 made circa 1903. Octagon barrel is 24 3/8” long with typical black powder .22 bore- worn and rough. Note the caliber is .22 LONG, not .22 LONG RIFLE. The immensely popular and long-lived Model 1873 reached a total production of about 720,000 rifles and carbines, but less than 20,000 were in .22 rimfire caliber, and according to George Madis these have a low survival rate, probably from people reworking them to more useful calibers than the .22 rimfire for such a heavy rifle. This one has seen some honest use, but not abuse, and retains about 85-90% original finish, thinning or dulling in places, but overall a very attractive Model 1873 rifle. It has the standard crescent buttplate shape found on most 1873 rifles, but specially made for the .22s without a butt trap. Good markings, screw heads not buggered, magazine is complete and working. Wood has the old oil finish with assorted minor dings and scratches of an honestly used gun. This is from the estate of a past President of the Winchester Arms Collectors Association, and deserves a good home where it will be appreciated. $4250.00 (View Picture)

SMOF4551 - 13960 WINCHESTER MODEL 1885 SINGLE SHOT ''LOW WALL” RIFLE IN .22LR CALIBER. SERIAL NUMBER 75914. Serial number 119805 probably made circa 1915. A beautiful little gun with 24 3/8” octagon barrel and excellent bore. About 97-98% finish remains, just some honest wear causing brightness on the sharp edges, a bit of thinning on the bottom flat just ahead of the forend (resting on the window sill when shooting into the back yard?) and a couple of very minor scratches or scrapes. Stock retains nearly all the original varnish finish, with just a handful of very minor dings scattered around. John M. Browning’s famous Model 1885 single shot action is still regarded as one of the best ever made, and despite large production numbers, these were much loved, much used, and many were cobbled into home brewed varmint rifles, leaving excellent examples harder to find than one might expect. At one time, someone added a tang sight, and the ''footprint” shows in the finish on the tang, and in order to remember which way to turn the knobs for windage, they stamped L and R into the wood alongside the tang. It would be nicer without these blemishes, but is still a darn nice rifle. This great rifle is from the estate of a past President of the Winchester Arms Collectors Association, and it is looking for a good home. $1995.00 (View Picture)

Western Items

SMM2006 HOLSTER Lawrence 20 38 6 - Nice western type holster. Marked on back 20 / CEO LAWERENCE CO / PORTLAND OR / 38 6 Brown dark oil soaked leather Stitching intact. Looks like it will fit medium barreled revolver. $15.00 (View Picture)

10517 BLACK & WHITE HOLSTER FOR .45 AUTO - Handmade, decent quality, but the black leather with white lace stitching highlights are certainly 1950s-60s vintage style, and not my taste. Belt look was cut down to make it ride higher. Used G-VG. If you are not good at fast draw, this one may be a good choice as the bad guy may be snickering when he looks at your holster, allowing you additional time to plug him before he recovers. $20.00 (View Picture)

10509 U.S. Model 1885 watering bridle and bit for cavalry - (Steffen, Horse Soldier III, 37) Although similar to the later M1902, the M1885 had the bridle sewn to a fixed length, while the M1902 used a buckle to adjust length. Used VG with the leather bridle somewhat stiff and not suitable for actual use. $125.00 (View Picture)

10576 ALUMINUM DUMMY PISTOL- M1842 PERCUSSION - Full size cast aluminum replica. These were popular in the 1950s onward for decoration, filling holsters for parades or as movie props, etc. This is a .54 caliber single shot Model 1842 percussion "horse pistol" carried in holsters on the saddle of mounted troops. It has a nice (but badly chipped and scratched) paint job with the stock and brass parts painted brown and gold respectively. Would look much nicer if stripped and repainted. $95.00 (View Picture)

5693 EXPRESS, RAILROAD & BANK DOCUMENTS - Total of 12 neat old documents from business transactions long ago. Wonderful items for display with other artifacts of the period, or for dealers to sell off individually. a. Two receipts from Eastern Express Company, Boston, Mass, in the 1870s (basically for funds to be transferred to someone else). b. Receipt from Maine Central RR dated in the 1870s. c. Two receipts from the Bangor & Piscataquis [Maine] RR Co. dated in the 1870s. d. Four checks drawn on the Maverick National Bank, Boston, Mass in the late 1860s, mostly from account of the Boston Forge Co. Three of the checks are printed in black, one in red, and all have entries in ink and 2 cent Internal Revenue stamps placed on them. (Sort of like an ATM fee to raise taxes back in the olde days before the IRS started withholding to steal your hard earned money.) e. Two checks drawn on the First National Bank, Cripple Creek, Colorado in the early 1900s. f. One check on a mining company account in a Colorado mining town in the early 1900s $29.00 (View Picture)
