Nice! If that were in my collection it would be one of my favorites. My problem is I have at least a dozen favorites for at least a dozen different reasons.

That is a beautiful gun.  Like Michael said, I have a few favorites.  Here is one.

as others have said, it is hard to pick a favorite but this 86 would make my short list. It is a case hardened deluxe with matted barrel (only 206 made in all calibers) and hand made stock.

This Model 64 in 219 Zipper is in new condition and I am proud to own it. However, this post is not about the Zipper, it is about the man I bought it from over 30 years ago. The man’s name was James O. Aplan – his friends just called him Jim. Jim passed away the day after Christmas at his home in Piedmont, South Dakota at the age of 87. Jim and his wife Peg always had a table at the best gun shows in the country. Jim was an educated man, including a Masters Degree and knew more about the history of the American west, especially South Dakota history, than most college professors. Back in the 60’s, before credit cards, internet and faked/redone guns, Jim had gun shops in a couple of South Dakota locations and many of finest firearms in the county passed thru his hands – not just Winchesters but Colts, Marlins, Remington’s and Sharps. During his long life, Jim was involved in many different endeavors. He was a trained and skilled gunsmith, spent quite a few years in the banking business and throughout most of his life was involved in antiques, especially Indian artifacts and cowboy memorabilia. In Jim’s early days he was a professional rodeo cowboy. Jim was old school, his word was his bond and when he shook hands it meant something. I first met Jim the day I bought the Zipper. I was on a road trip thru South Dakota and saw the big sign along Interstate 90 near Piedmont that said “James O. Aplan, Antiques and Art”. I went inside, got acquainted and started looking at dozens of guns. Then, I found the Zipper and asked what it would take to hold the gun until I got back to Alaska and sent him some money. He said “I know your family, just take the gun and send me a check when you get home”. We shook hands – done deal! On December 26, 2018 we lost a fine American and one hell of a man!
