This exceptional Winchester Model 1892 Deluxe Saddle Ring Carbine, chambered in .44 Winchester Center Fire (.44-40), features a 20-inch barrel, striking two-tone finish, and beautifully figured checkered walnut stocks. Reportedly associated with renowned exhibition marksman Jim Levack, a World War I veteran and championship shooter who later performed shooting exhibitions for Winchester, this distinctive carbine features a bright chrome-plated receiver, traditional saddle ring, and an inscription of Levack's initials “J.G.L.” on the receiver, with “Jim Levack” engraved on the buttplate.
