Hi, I am new to the forum and I have a question regarding different trade
marks used on the model 1890 rifles. I have two of these rifles and some
different trigger guards and the trade marks are different. I have three different types of trademark layouts.
They are:
WINCHESTER
MODEL 1890
TADE MARK
PAT JUN 26 88 DEC 6 92
WINCHESTER
TRADE MARK
TRADE MARK
WINCHESTER
REG. U. S. PAT. OFFICE ? FGN.
Maybe there are even other types but can anyone tell me a time frame and
possibly a serial number range for when they used the different types?

Hello and welcome,
You are speaking of the tang stamps on the Model 1890 rifles. I believe there were actually 7 different styles used but I am away from my reference book by Ned Schwing which has the serial number ranges for each. If you are going to be serious about these rifle You should look for a copy. Warning,, they are expensive.

Thanks for your reply. YES, I am refering to the tang stamps. I sure would like
to get a copy of Ned Schwing’s book but funds are tight for me right now and I
just can’t do it. Hopefully, maybe at the end of the year, Thats
‘S interesting to know that there were so many types. I like the 1890 marked ones
the best of what I have. I have been looking for another guard of that type and I see
some on some of the auctions but so far none like I want. Frankly, being on a fixed
income, I may never find one for a decent price anyhow. Don’t we all wish we were
in the millionaire club? I would sure add and upgrade my modest collection. 🙂
You might be able to get a copy through interlibrary loan from your nearest public library.
Bioprofsd That is a good idea and I am going to give it a try but I have not had much
luck goin through my library before. I have spent a lot of time on the internet doing research on the time frame for these but with limited results. Right now, I am mostly interested in the period that the "Model 1890" appeared on the tang. I know they changed it by 1910 and I know that 1899 and 1901 versions had it but when did it start and when did it end??? Questions Questions I want a copy of Ned Schwing’s book as soon as
I can fatten up the piggy bank alot.
