Very observable on both sides of the receiver.  Picture #’s 9, 10, 11, 17, 22, 23 and 36 (front receiver ring) show them pretty well.

Yes indeed, a very good example of an honest old Fancy Sporting Rifle.

Quite so.  I like it.  The bidders seems to like it as well.  While we’re at it, he has a wonderful deluxe, special order ’86.  Better condition than the M1894:

The 86 is an antique but not the 94 even though he says no FFL required.

He does provide the Cody research sheet, which clearly shows it is a “modern” Winchester.

Pretty sweet wood. Pretty sure it was wiped down with oil for the pics but I’m OK with that. Lots of blue, too. Nice gun.

I see it ended at $4726.  That’s higher then I predicted.  It was a nice rifle and I liked it.  But, it showed a lot of wear.  Also, it did not have antique status and the .30 WCF doesn’t pull collectors in the same as .25-35, .32-40 or .38-55.  Based on selling prices I am seeing of late, I would say interest in collecting old Winchesters is alive on well.  I’ve also observed some impressive performance on other vintage non-Winchester rifles.  Nice to see!

Again, the price was driven by the fact that it was a deluxe.  Besides the wear this gun had some water damage.  Look at the rust on the butt plate and the blackened wood.  I wonder if it went through a FFL?
