All,
A friend was helping clean up his parent’s basement in PA and came across this…. Seems to be an 1894 TD in .32-40
Can anyone lend a hand into the actual variant? Seems like most had 26″ barrels and straight stocks. This must be either an uncatalogued version or cobbled together from parts.
Pretty cool old rifle!
We appreciate any insights you might have.
Best,

Looks like an 1896 vintage deluxe (catalogued as “Fancy”) takedown 1/2 mag rifle.
What length is the barrel? It’s possible it was cut at some point in its life. A Cody Museum letter would tell you how it left the warehouse back in ’96.
The sling swivels were added later, otherwise looks like a nice find.
My first thought was – Why don’t I run into this kind of thing in someone’s basement? Hmmm….
