Canadian Nationale (railroad company) ?

Marks look like pre 1924 Birmingham provisional proof.......A number of 92s were bought semi privately in WW1 for the fishing fleet ,IIRC to pop off mines caught in nets.

[Old School Big Bore]

Very nice 92. All the other marks will make the collectors drip on the keyboard.
If it went to China then possibly it was through Hong Kong and the British military possibly had had the say over what type arms entered.

[Sam Sackett]

Good score. Would like to see more pictures.

New rifle arrived today ! Took 4 months but looks good next to its younger brother

[ddixie884]

Yes that is a nice one.........
It is no wonder the 1892 Winchester was and is such a favorite. Weight, balance, handiness, Handgun calibers, noise levels etc. Rossi was smart to make and market an affordable copy. I just wish they had been closer to the quality of the originals.

+1 to what ddixie884 said. Especially the last sentence.

You get what you pay for.

If I lived in the US I’d be looking to get all the 1892 models I could ! But it’s not easy in the Uk.
Think my collection is complete now just need to shoot them as much as I can

I know you are right...........

I had a Rossi 92 (357) for a few months. Nothing wrong but nothing right either.

A real Winchester is something completely different, I just firelapped one from 1901. You need to handle and shoot these old girls to understand.

Here are some British Proof Marks on a Win92. A lot were sent to England during the war and to sportsmen as well.
