  Hi Bert. I came across an 1892 today. Takedown model with a round barrel. Tang sight. Serial # 488388. It's original finish is all gone and it has a nice patina. Would you have any info on his rifle and its approximate value? Most I see have an octagon barrel.
  
  Thank you

  Winchester did not mark the receiver frame until very late in production (post-1900), and even then, it was never marked with the Model number.
