I would have already if I had the money. Hoping someone on here is lucky enough. Rifle is worth at least double the asking price in my opinion. It won’t last long at that price. A steal at $8,500…

Nice looking gun, a rare gun if it lettered.
But refinished so may not appeal to some. I don’t love the case colours

My same thoughts.
When I briefly glanced at it earlier today I thought it didn’t look right and knee jerk reaction was that the stocks had been re-checkered. But honestly didn’t take much time looking it over good.

I totally missed the fact that it is refinished when looking at it on my phone. Larger pics reveal the refinish and I share the same sentiments regarding refinished guns.

I wasn’t able to pick up on the refinish clues. Still learning to use this new laptop and can’t figure out the magnification process. Will need to try it on my iPad. Deluxe 1892’s are just eye candy to me anyway.

If you want one that looks like this one, but is all original, Don’s original estimate is correct – AT LEAST double this price. I’d push it toward triple.
I don’t buy guns like this without having them in my hands. I tried to get the serial number but their response did not list it. Looked real nice and shinny.
One wonders what source he used to date the rifle to 1895. I don’t understand why a museum letter wouldn’t have been pursued on this rifle. Of course, maybe one was 
Regardless, it sold easy enough without one.

We talked about this one about a month ago. And it was a .25-20!
So this rifle that just sold for $8500 in .44-40 has the same serial number as one that sold a month ago but in .25-20? Yikes!

I didn’t think we knew the serial number of the one that sold for $8500?

Okay, that makes more sense. I suppose you could turn a .25-20 into a .44-40, but I don’t think it would work other than as a single shot rifle.

Exactly, when I asked for it I never got it. If legit, a 92 in 38 or 44 like this would go for more than 20K and maybe 30K. I paid 10K for one that has problems with the receiver and butt plate finish. But, I was able to hold the rifle in my hands before I bid on it.
