What’s Included
- Winchester Model 94 Theodore Roosevelt Commemorative rifle
The TR-prefix serial number confirms inclusion in Winchester’s first commemorative series honoring a U.S. President. Factory scroll engraving frames “26th President 1901-1909” on the left receiver, while a facsimile Theodore Roosevelt signature appears on the tang.
The nickel-plated steel receiver contrasts with the blued, 26-inch octagon barrel—an uncommon barrel length and profile for the Model 94. A half-length magazine tube keeps the rifle variant’s lines balanced and maintains a 6+1 capacity in .30-30 Winchester.
Walnut furniture features a satin oil finish, pistol-grip stock, and an inlaid brass Roosevelt medallion. Iron sights consist of a dovetail blade front and semi-buckhorn rear, staying faithful to traditional lever-gun handling.
With only a single-year production run and limited quantity, this commemorative Model 94 offers both shooting utility and collectible appeal tied to its historical theme.
