Some production numbers according to Brophy; Of the 55,119 Model 1889's made: 15,440 made in .32-20 caliber 3729 made with 26" barrel (looks like a 26' barrel to me) 2296 pistol grips 854 made with 1/2 magazine 508 made with 1/2 octagon barrel All in all, a pretty rare rifle you have there. Plus it has condition. A collectors dream !! Congrats on a real beauty. WB

I just don’t see many 1889s in any variation. Show em if you got em!
