Manufactured 111 years ago in 1915.A beautiful piece of history, showing the character and patina of many years of use.

The model 1892 gained fame as a reliable firearm during the closing parts of the American frontier. Annie Oakley used one in her performance with Buffalo Bill’s wild west show. John Wayne used the 1892 in numerous films. This has to be one of the most iconic leaver action rifles ever made.
