I remember when you couldn’t hardly give a .25-20 away….

And with a huge honking dent in the left side of the butt stock. I’m gob-smacked.

Ya’, I got a better one I would sell for 1/2 the price with no fees etc.. It looked like a pretty good auction for the sellers.

The condition actually isn’t that good. Look at the patina on the takedown component of the receiver and the bolt. I’ve got two in .25-20 that are far nicer, but I’m not confident they would bring much more than 15% the hammer price of this one. Plus, one of mine is antique, of which this is not.

I agree Burt. Extremely hard to find, in a Deluxe configuration, (according to us collectors), like this one. Steve makes a good point also, as the 25-20 was hard to try to sell or even give away at one point years ago. BRP, also makes a good point with the,”Honking Dent”, in the butt stock.
I was seriously considering going after this rifle as the hammer price was a little hard to digest, as I was shocked to see it also! I had a chance at an OGCA show some years ago as there were two in the show at the time on tables, and a fellow WACA member put me on to both of them, and I passed on both at some where around, $7,500.00 probably about 15 yrs ago or so! Can’t remember the caliber or anything else about them, but Oh Well, that’s how it goes.

I have followed deluxe 1892’s for many years. The 2 smaller calibers are easier to find. The 2 larger calibers are really hard to find. I’ve seen 44 deluxe guns sell for less than this one. It is a very nice rifle but not as rare as the 38 or 44.

That will be on some dealer’s table for 11k next week.
