  • Description:

    SN 773274 is a military issued Winchester 1892 44-40 carbine.  This carbine shows the DCP (Dominion of Canada) proof on the barrel.  This carbine was one of carbines as acquired by the Royal Navy and inspected by the Canadian inspectors at the Winchester plant.  A photocopy is included with the history and use of these carbines by the Royal navy.  9000 carbines were inspected and 1005 rejected by the British Government.  This example shows loss of blue on the receiver and barrel with clear markings.  The mag tube shows the retention of most of its' original blue.  The wood is the typical gum wood of the era (WW1) but is sound showing its obvious service usage.  The bore is bright excellent.  The action is the typical 1892 smooth positive action.  This is a very good example of a WW1 Winchester that was used for miltiary service.
