This little carbine was a wonderful find for us! Original Winchester 1892 saddle ring carbines are not uncommon but early production guns with pre-1898 serial numbers are SUPER SCARCE! Since the inception of the website in 2004, we've only found four or five examples of '92 carbines with antique SN#'s (less than one per year).the earliest until this one came along being one in the 45,000 serial range we sold several years ago.
