OfflineYes, that appears to be a 1st variation (early) Winchester Model 1900, the first variation was not marked with a model number for some reason, the second variations (2a and 2b) were marked “MODEL 1900 / 22 SHORT & LONG” after the address and patent roll marking.

OfflineNo re blue here. Just typical condition they are usually found in. Same with most M58’s. Most of these old single shots have taken a lickin and are still tickin, despite the terrible bores. The M1900 is one of the hardest boys rifles to find. The M02 in 22 LR is another. Big Larry
