Curious what you guys think of it? Has a bid of $3,000 on it already with a 6 to 10k projection. 
  

Hammered at $6500 + the juice!
  

That is totally Nuts!  I was expecting $4K - $4.5K

Yes I agree Bert. Well over $8000 total.

Got bid up when it went live as 2 bulls locked horns. Someone overpaid but hopefully it is going to a personal collection and a good home but won’t be surprised if we see it on GB shortly!

Keep an eye on G.B. down the road with a reserve and an inflated story!

Nothing surprises me anymore!

In this case, the use of the adjective "oldest known" is pure hyperbole. 
All (91) of the identified and documented Model 94/95 hybrid Carbines were manufactured in the year 1928, including the one listed in that auction.  Per the PR records, it was manufactured on 1/26/1928.  The "youngest known" (last) 94/95 hybrid was manufactured less than 11-months later on 11/12/1928.  The vast majority of the 94/95 hybrids were manufactured in June - September of 1928.

So it is in essence a #1 of a 91 production limited edition? 😉
  

Actually, it is an unknown # of the 1,303 total production.

I'm in agreement with you on that. Space fillers, until you find one better.

If you want QUANTITY, It’s there, but looking through many of the Winchesters being offered in this auction, I was very disappointed in the condition of all of them.

At best, unless I missed a few or maybe I should say relative to the 1885s, 1886s, 1892s, 1894s, and 1895s, this auction is for little more than placeholders—fills a spot until something nicer comes along.
