A beautiful 38-55 Winchester 1894 with a full length tube and a 20" round barrel. The bluing is worn, but not abused. I see no rust anywhere on this gun and it has a very nice and consistent patina.  The buttstock appears to have been lacquered at some point, and there are a couple drops of lacquer on the metal. I expect it would clean up well if you were so inclined to remove it. The butt stock has great dimensions, making it a very comfortable rifle to shoulder.

I have had this gun to the range a couple times. It functioned perfectly and was very enjoyable to shoot.  I got some nice groups with it using handloaded cast bullets at moderate velocities.  I slugged the bore to be .379".

It has just over a 4 lbs trigger, which is nice and light for a lever gun. It weighs in at just under 7.2 lbs and is very comfortable to carry and handle. The loading gate feels so silky smooth compared to a recent Henry side gate I own.  There is a genuine quality to how everything feels on this gun that I can't really explain. 

I think that is all I know about this one, but let me know if you have questions.
