Highly Embellished Winchester Model 1890 Takedown Slide Action Rifle

This is a beautiful example of a custom embellished/upgraded Winchester Model 1890 slide action rifle. This highly custom embellished example features a # 8 Winchester style engraving pattern on the sides of the receiver which depicts squirrels and rabbits in a game scenes on each side, with a fine English scroll engraving around the borders of the scenes and the receiver. It has also been restocked with a deluxe presentation type pistol grip walnut stock with fine checkering on the sides of the pistol grip area. This rifle is a second model with the blued takedown frame and an octagon barrel. The barrel has fixed sights, and it has been remarked on top in with the two line New Haven address followed by "22 SHORT" on the top rear flat in front of the receiver. The three line model/patent date marking is stamped on the upper tang, and the serial number is on the lower tang. The stock has a casehardened crescent buttplate with a hard rubber Winchester marked grip cap. It is fitted with a 12 groove pump handle. The 1890 was the first slide-action rifle ever produced by Winchester and was designed by John and Matthew Browning. It became one of the most successful rimfire repeating rifle for general shooting ever manufactured by Winchester and was used by trick/target shooters in the early 1900s. The rifle is accompanied by a "Winchester Highly Finished Arms" catalog by Doug Turnbull Restoration.

ConditionNear mint as professionally embellished by Doug Turnbull Restoration with 99% of the current rust blued finish overall with a color casehardened hammer and crescent buttplate. The stock and pump handle both show 99% of the current varnished finish overall.
