Here’s one that is coming to Auction, as it’s a shame it has been refinished, and abused. The ad states 1897, as an antique, which the WACA site shows serial number #84668, was mfg. in 1900.

If nothing else, maybe it will help in the model 1894 survey.

It’s a real shame to see what has been done to some of these rifles.  This example made me feel sad.

Steve,

I can feel you’re pain.

So this one hammered at $710.00, plus the juice, and S/H if not picked up locally.

My question is now, who would go after something like this?

A pawn shop, maybe who is low on inventory and has an FFL License, and tries to move it as an old Winchester, and possibly spinning a yarn, just to make a buck? 

Just one thought.

I just can’t imagine, anyone buying this, and what they would do with it!

Still a couple hours left until the auction ends
