A bubba deluxe 1873. Maybe the price is supposed to be $324.99…I bet this one gets relisted for the next 20 years…

Bert – I have a pair of Tony Lama boots with that same checkering pattern – if you decide to buy the gun I will just give you the boots!

Winchester collectors need to study this gun. They can learn two things. Winchester COULD produce checkering that would never wear. And, phillips head screws were in use MUCH earlier than thought. The question is, though, do these innovations warrant the asking price of the gun?

What you guys are missing is that this is an original " 1 of 720,000 " 1873 Winchester.

I have no idea why this print is so large!

Nice to see that the rest of his guns are in the same condition, wonder if he’s looking to buy more for about 1/2 his asking price. Laugh

I see he has a beater Model 1892 listed as well. Starting bid is ‘steal’ at $5,149. Now where did I leave my wallet ….?

Well, at least portions of his description are honest…He describes the checkering as "sharp" and boy , he’s not kidding there…also its the rarer borderless checkering pattern….I hope he paid less when he bought it…
