VERY EARLY FIRST MODEL 76 MUSKETItem # W626 Hawaiian musket features on this gun with the cleaning rod half exposed on the left hand side of the fore wood as well as the flip up spring loaded rear sight. Serial numbers in the 3800 range. This gun was part of a small group of 76 muskets that were sent to Northwest India approximately 1878. This is the only one I have seen with this exact configuration. Quite a unique gun. It has the 2nd model thumbprint dust cover with correct sliding rail. Overall the gun is in excellent+ condition with about 90% slightly toning bbl blue and 75% toning receiver blue. Original wood has a considerable amount of original varnish with a few mars and dings. Sound with no splits or cracks. VG condition with correct carbine style buttplate as well as sling swivels. Crisp and tight mechanical condition. Hard to improve upon this early 76 musket.
WINCHESTER MODEL 1892 MUSKETItem # W630 W630 WINCHESTER MODEL 1892 MUSKET; Scarce cal 32-20. Original 30" full round bbl with original sights. Original musket stock in generally VG condition with correct sling swivels and only a few handling mars. No splits or cracks. Very slight chip of wood missing in the upper right hand side near the tang. Good bbl markings. Overall metal is generally VG+ with 50% toning blue on bbl. Receiver is mostly flaked and is a plum/brown patina with traces of blue. All original with a few minor mars in the bbl, looks as though someone has taken the bbl off for some reason. I guarantee that it is the correct bbl for this frame. VG+ condition overall. Nice clean little gun.
EARLY SECOND MODEL ANTIQUE WINCHESTER MODEL 90 RIFLEItem # W446 -20-259 Case colored receiver. Overall gun is clean and sharp. Receiver is just turning a nickel coloration with traces of case color. The bbl retains about 60-70% original blue starting to turn a plum patina. Original sights and a VG bore. Rarely seen with any kind of bore at all. Should shoot pretty good. Wood retains most original varnish and is complete with a rifle style buttplate. A hard gun to find with any condition and this one is a smooth clean little gun.
PAIR OF WINCHESTER MODEL 70XTR FACTORY ENGRAVED SUPER GRADE RIFLESItem # W422/W421-20-245 Cal 243 and 7mm Mag. These guns were ordered with full fancy Walnut matching stocks with rosewood forend tips and pistol grip cap, shadowline cheek piece and oil style finish. Both guns are engraved and gold inlaid. One features a buck deer on the floorplate and the other has a large elk in the same location. On the receiver is a big horn sheep and a coyote. The wood matches beautifully. The engraving is an American scroll style. Guaranteed original with Factory Letters of Authenticity from B W Pardee, the manager of the Winchester Model 21 custom shop. Both guns also feature the custom marking on top of the bbl and the old style model 71 sling swivel bases. A very desirable pair of factory engraved Winchesters. Will sell as a pair or individually. $ 9,500 as a pair or $ 5,000 each INDIVIDUALLY.
VERY EARLY POST-64 WINCHESTER MODEL 70 RIFLEItem # W381-20-248
WINCHESTER POST-64 MODEL 70Item # W383 -20-241 This is an early 1967 gun. By now Winchester had already been blasted for 3 years about their "new and improved" model 70. Things weren't going well for Winchester and they were scrambling to come up with a model 70 that people wouldn't hate. They still weren't quite there, but were improving slowly. By early 67 this would be about their 3rd attempt to make a better gun. This is a very nice example. All blue remaining. All wood finish remaining. Little or no wear anywhere. This gun is pretty much "as new". Mounted on this gun is an early Bushnell 4X scope on the traditional Weaver mounts. There isn't much sense having a nice collection of pre-64s if you don't have a couple of post-64s for comparison to show Winchester's screw up in 1964.
VERY RARE WINCHESTER MODEL 777 BOLT ACTION RIFLEItem # 4222-20-251 These guns were made by Nikko in Japan in 1979 only. 1,000 were manufactured and only 3 were ever exported to the United Stated. A few years ago I had one and now I got this one out of Australia. Other than that they are almost unheard of in this country. This one seems to be a pretty scarce caliber 243. Designed with a light weight style bbl. Fancy deluxe burl walnut checkered stocks with a Monte Carlo cheek piece and a Wundhammer swelled grip. Very unique gun. It is engraved "Winchester" on the upper receiver. The floorplate is also engraved. Features sling swivels and a hard rubber buttplate. Nicely made gun. Extremely scarce. About 98-99% conditon with only a few light handling mars. No Winchester bolt action collection would be complete without one of these!
WINCHESTER MODEL 53 RIFLE IN 32-20Item # 4235 Cal 32-20. Original wood is in excellent condition with just a few light handling mars. On the right side of the forearm are some gouges but generally in fine condition with most original varnish. The bbl and mag tube have some sort of a questionable re-finish. Receiver is a charcoal color. Clean and sharp overall. Bbl has a purple like color to it. Original sights. Excellent bore. Should make a good shooter.
WINCHESTER MODEL 53 RIFLEItem # 4243-20-202 Cal 32-20. Original sights with a VG shootable bore. Original forearm in VG shape. Stock has been replaced with an extra length stock measuring 14-1/4" and made of circassian walnut. Fits quite well. Overall gun has been refinished and retains about 95% with an off color to the bbl. Still should make a fine shooter. Hard gun to find.
POST-64 WINCHESTER MODEL 70 WESTERNER RIFLE IN .30-06 CALIBERItem # 5817-20-242 22 barrel, excellent bore, very near as new condition overall.

Wood is also in great shape with just a few very light scuff marks. K-4 Weaver on Redfield mounts. This Model 70 has it all-condition and a great scarce Caliber. A great addition to any Model 70 Collection.

SCARCE WINCHESTER-HOTCHKISS 1ST MODEL NAVY RIFLEItem # 7048-20-299
VERY RARE WINCHESTER HOTCHKISS CUT-AWAY 2ND MODEL SPORTING RIFLEItem # W2849-18-255 This cut-away rifle was part of a collection of personally assembled and owned guns by the late 'Lieutenant George B. Aldee'. He was a very colorful individual-a highly decorated Civil War officer. Later on, he worked for Winchester as a sales representative. He was quite instrumental in the development of the Hotchkiss rifle. He won the 1882 Creedmore rifle matches. This gun is very well documented with numerous letters; some of them coming from individuals such as Bennett, the Vice President of Winchester, in regards to his shooting at Creedmore. Overall gun is in near excellent condition with 75-80% original nickel which is flaking and turning a very mellow patina coloration. Original semi-deluxe stock is excellent retaining most original varnish, original sights, fine bore. Very interesting gun; guaranteed 100% all original and complete with Factory Letter of Authenticity from the Buffalo Bill Historical Society listing it as a nickeled sporting rifle, sectionalized" which would mean that it's a cut-away rifle. Quite unique, especially with the extensive paperwork and documents that accompany it.

WINCHESTER MODEL 70 XTR EXHIBITION GUNItem # 9125-20-239 One of a group of guns made by Winchester and later purchased by Robert Peterson. Gun is elaborately and beautifully executed with deep relief engraving on top of the breach. 3-4" out on the bbl as well as the fore plate is heavily engraved with a golden light African spear running the full length of the fore plate. Half of the receiver has four gold animals inlaid. There are lines highlighting the edge of the receiver. Caliber is 338 mag. Fancy deluxe wood is excellent plus condition featuring elaborately fleur-de-lis style checkered patterns on both front and back with a wide border highlighting the edge of the check ring. Cheek piece and a leather covered English style recoil pad. Very beautifully done. Made by Winchester for exhibition purposes. Serial number is an even 1,650,000. Very few of these were made.

WINCHESTER MODEL 52 TARGET RIFLE WHICH HAS BEEN SPORTERIZEDItem # 8371-17-315
SUPERB CONDITION WINCHESTER MODEL 71 DELUXEItem # 8468-20-233 Fine, fine gun with nearly all blue on the bbl and receiver, excellent to perfect bore, action is slick and tight. The checkered deluxe stock is in VG cond, full fitting, a few handling marks. Gun is also equipped with the orig Winchester sling swivels and a period sling, Serial range is 33,XXX on this fine '71. Very hard to find a better condition one-they're hard to come by and this is one of the finest I've seen. This gun was evidently bought and used very, very little. I doubt if more than a box or 2 of shells have gone through it.

Near perfect bore, Lyman All-American scope on Redfield mounts. A dandy, usable classic varmint rig.
