Now here’s one to behold 1894 1/2 o.b. , 20″ takedown. It does letter but. the finish is anything but the “very nice original” finish the auction house says it is.To bad, cause it is a rare ’94. for a ’94 collector. 5 Star Auctions Arapaho Neb. Item #298

It also has two holes drilled and tapped in the left receiver wall for a peep sight, which it would not have had when it left New Haven in 1902.

You gotta love those plum / purple finished Winchesters. They seem to be making more and more of them everyday.
