I have read all that has been written here and all I can say is we shall see soon enough. Auction season is starting in a couple weeks, as I see it, starting with Amoskeag. They have listed several fine looking Winchesters that I would say fit into this category that’s being discussed here. Next is RIA and Morphy and Poulin. I say pay attention to the hammer prices and make a determination based on those.
Probably going to irritate a few people here when I say this, but it has been a question plaguing me for a very long time. So, I have read time and again how the financial gain on your fire arms is not why you buy them, correct? Then are you not worried about the value of them in the future? Seems to me that it is a fools errand.
RIA, Poulin’s, Morphy’s and Amoskeag have come and gone. Following these sales, any comments or observations relative to this segment of the market and these recent sales are welcome.
No thoughts or observations from these recent sales? Anyone?

Morphy’s is near to where I live. This one was in the sale recently. Only brought $4,800. I think it looked better than in the photographs, but I would have thought, at least a year or two ago, this was easily a 6 k firearm.
Anyone else seeing what I am?

Somebody definitely got a very decent deal on that ELW in my opinion.

I agree Bert!
That’s a nice example in pretty nice condition and hard to find.

I agree with Bert, given what the ELW’s that just sold at RIA just priced out at. I did find the above mentioned ELW interesting with the rifle butt. But not enough to pursue it.
