This is an exquisite Winchester Model 1892 Rifle in .32-20 WCF, manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in New Haven, Connecticut. The serial number 136183 confirms production in 1900, as verified by Winchester’s serialization records for the Model 1892, which place numbers in the 130,000 range for that year. Designed by John M. Browning and introduced in 1892 as a successor to the Model 1873, the Model 1892 is renowned for its compact, lightweight lever-action design, making it a favorite among ranchers, hunters, and lawmen in the American West. The .32-20 WCF cartridge, known for its versatility, was popular for small to medium game hunting and self-defense. Its historical significance lies in its widespread use during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often featured in Western films and associated with the iconic imagery of the frontier. The expert restoration, possibly by Turnbull Restorations, known for their meticulous work on Winchester firearms, enhances its collectible value.

This example is in excellent condition as restored, with the 24" round barrel, magazine tube, and receiver showcasing a vibrant blue finish. The lever, hammer, and butt plate retain vivid case colors, a hallmark of high-quality restoration work. The hand-varnished walnut stocks are in superb condition, complementing the rifle’s classic aesthetic. The bore is very good, with light frosting in the grooves, indicating careful maintenance and suitability for shooting with appropriate ammunition. Mechanically excellent, the rifle operates smoothly with a crisp lever action. All markings, including the Winchester logo and caliber designation, are crisp and legible.
