Stunning Johnson & Sons Deluxe, Marty Rabeno Master Game Scene Engraved and Gold Inlaid Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action Takedown Short Rifle in Desirable .45-70 W.C.F. with Deluxe Huey Case and Shooting Sticks Originally manufactured in 1906, this Winchester Model 1886 was subsequently upgraded to its current, beautiful, and functional, masterfully engraved, deluxe takedown short rifle configuration, as well as being chambered in the powerful and desirable .45-70 W.C.F. cartridge. The consignor notes that the upgrade work was carried out by Johnson & Sons, while the engraving is signed by FEGA Master Engraver Marty Rabeno. The engraving follows some of the known Winchester styles, with the left of the receiver having a French grey circular game scene featuring two American bison. The scene is outlined by delicately inlaid gold wire. The scene is surrounded by American floral scrollwork and border designs, with the scrollwork continuing on the opposite side of the receiver, takedown collar, breech of the barrel, and the forearm cap. There are gold bands inlaid in the barrel at the muzzle and breech, and the initials "FRB" are inlaid in gold on the bottom front of the receiver. The engraving is signed "M/RABENO" on the bottom of the receiver just in front of the lever, and the serial number is marked on the lower tang (last digit somewhat faint). The three-line Winchester trademark is on the upper tang. It is fitted with a combination front sight, a three-leaf "express" type rear sight, with one of the leaves being of the adjustable ladder type, and sling swivel studs on the bottom of the forearm cap and stock. It is mounted with a very finely figured, multi-point checkered forearm and pistol grip stock with a smooth steel grip cap, cheekpiece on the left of the stock, and a leather covered recoil pad. Includes both a very attractive and elaborate Huey steer hide covered takedown case with "FRB" marked escutcheon on the lid and canvas cover with "FRB" marked leather patch, as well as a leather sheath containing a set of shooting sticks.
