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?
