Winchester 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine w/ Low SN# Antique

This is an early Winchester Model 1892 SRC with a low antique serial number in the 18,000 range. Mfd in 1893. Lots of nice early features on this one including an early block-type Model 1873 front sight. Only seen a few with these and they're all early production. Caliber is 38-40 with standard 20" barrel, full magazine, saddle ring, ladder sights, and semi-crescent butt plate. Being so early, it has the decorative knurled hammer with the fancy dipped border, early 2 line barrel address, and patent dates on the lower tang. Early type rear sight graduated 200-900 yards. Letters correctly with the Cody Museum:
