When you absolutely, positively, have to have a FANCY rifle! A friend of mine sent me this link. Rather interesting. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/788199

Here is a Model 1894 takedown frame on 30 WCF. I am surprised that they obliterated the SN. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/24970

That did not become a legal issue until the GCA of 1968.

I was at the Met in Sept 2024, it was fantastic. Too much to see and too little time. I would love to spend more time there.
The 1886 and 1894 were displayed together with some rare side arms. Here are a couple of pictures.
I preferred the 1866 and 1873 in the cabinet opposite the Tiffany Winchesters, that is me in the picture. Bob Reabe told me I should have asked them to take the 1873 out of the case for a closer look

It would have to be a very mild weather day for me to carry this one in the woods.
