I've got a first year production Winchester 92 in .38 WCF. Gun has English proofs, have no idea how it ended up in South Texas. Blueing is worn, but not bad for a 100 plus year old gun. The stock has an initial carved in it, a gothic "G", and a small mother of pearl heart inlet in the other side of the buttstock. I wish that gun could talk, I am sure it has seen some amazing things! I hunt with it from time to time...hate to see a rifle retired from use because of collectivity or value. Guns are made to shoot!
