This is a pre-war Winchester Model 1894 chambered in .32 Winchester Special, manufactured in 1938 (serial number: 1154453). This rifle represents the golden era of Winchester craftsmanship, well before the cost-cutting changes of 1964.

Condition: This rifle is in very good condition for its age, with a clean, tight action and solid bore. Wood shows minor handling marks but no cracks or repairs. Screws and pins appear unmolested.
