The rifle is marked numerous times, reading; "REG. In U.S. PAT. OFF. - WINCHESTER - Trade Mark" on the tang, "Manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms CO. New Haven, CONN. U.S.A. PAT.

The rifle shows two matching serial numbers, one on the trigger assembly, and one on the receiver, both read "492824".

This is a Curio & Relic long gun, and requires NICS background check, or FFL transfer. Serial Number: 492824.
