Bill,

Looks like walnut to me. 

 

Don,

Think your right (looking at the close up of the wood grain on the forearm).  Ive heard they exist that way, with walnut forearm and gumwood buttstock.  Looks like someone has added some color to the wood at one time.  Aside from the wood, that carbine of Merz is a pretty rare variant IMO.  1892’s in 38-40 are the least likely to have any special order features compared to the other 3 calibers.   

About 21yrs ago, I owned a very rare 92, rifle. would easy rate 98% just beautiful

sn 858131

38WCF

Half round half oct

half mag

Takedown

and gumwood stocks.

Here’s one on Merz’s website.  In my opinion, this carbine has a gumwood buttstock mis-matched with a walnut forearm.

Jolly,

I was REAL tempted to bid on this pair of rifles so that I could end up with the 1892 SRC.  Talk about gorgeous wood on a carbine and in 44 WCF caliber!  But the financial timing just isn’t good right now so it will go on down the road.

What was the final auction price for this pair?  I am REALLY drawn to the wood on the ’92.  Really drawn to it.

Steve,

Without looking up the sale I am pretty certain they went for $3000.
