Also a matched set is for sale on Guns International albeit it appears to be in the wrong case…

I have never seen any printed material or verified information, showing that Winchester matched up any sets. It has been my understanding that for the past 41 years, matched sets we’re put together by collectors, with serial numbers under 1000, as only 1000 Eagle Scout Rifles were made.
You bring up a good point with the case, as the original cases were Walnut not Mahogany as the seller has indicated. At $14,750.00, I feel he’s more than covering the expense of the custom made Mahogany 2 rifle case that was made for these! It surely doesn’t smell right to me!
I’ve only owned a dozen of these over the years, and only a few sets that we’re put together, after they left the factory. This offering is a first for my eyes!

I agree, there is no record of matching sets being marketed by Winchester that I’m aware of and if true these by default are the very rare few collectors have cobbled together! The case he is showing is just a one gun case. Looks like either a John Wayne Duke or Limited Edition I case. The actual Case produced by Winchester for the Eagle was blue on the inside and has a Glass Eagle orb with it. I know the seller, have bought some great stuff from him and he is a very nice guy out of TN. If you want a matched set good luck finding another! I would wager the Eagle on GB goes for around 10k by itself but you never know. Two bulls go at it and one would have to consider if you are willing to pay more why not just get this matched set. Unless this sells before then I can’t imagine this set doesn’t limit the upside of the standalone Eagle unless of course 3 or more Bulls show up 😀 NOW, what is even more desirable is the 1 of 75 Boy Scout Diamond Jubilee also listed for sale on GB. I can’t fathom a 1 of 75 vs a 1 of 1000 is currently pulling 2k less in bids. I have seen the occasional Eagle and Randy scored 3 in a short time but other than my own BSDJ and one fake one a broker tried to get me to buy I have not seen another of these and with only 75 made the odds are good we won’t see another for a while.

Buck,
I couldn’t tell for sure on the case, and thought it was for two rifles. Thanks for setting me straight.
