My father had a lot of the commemorative 30-30s. We found two leather scabbards, with Winchester printed on them. I guess I cant post pics, but can someone tell me which guns these scabbards came with?

These were given out in 1982 with the purchase of any Winchester 94 from mid August to the end of Oct. I have uploaded the actual in store POP material Winchester sent to dealers so you can see it below. They tend to go for $150 or so today. 

Thank you so much for the info! He was a Win dealer, so that makes sense!

I agree, I visited with Mark when I bought my first martial marked Colt SAA from him. 
I did not mention the seller, in order to get feedback on the gun. I am hoping to learn as much as possible before going back to Tulsa next week. In preparation I also ordered the 86/92 Win. book by Arthur Pirkle.
  

Mark has been using that same solid red background for his pictures for at least 20-years now.  I enjoy chatting with him at the OAC show whenever I make the 3-hour drive south for a show.  You can't go wrong buying an old gun from him... definitely one of the "good guys" in his business.

Agreed, I knew the words "nice, honest gun" would come up. Looks like some of the screws are really nice and untouched, "might" be replacements but other than that, nothing of note. A good shooter at the minimum and probably nicer than average in my book.
  

Jeremy,

Thanks, I feel the same way. I like the looks, they just feel right for a 134 year old gun. The bore is shiny, the rifling good and I am going to work up some 32-20 loads for it. I read the "Tips on Buying an old Winchester" on this site and couldn't find any red flags with this old 73. My next rifle will be a 92.

I just joined the forum a few days ago and thought I show the first 73 that I bought earlier this year, hoping to get some input as to originality and possible replaced parts. I am not new to guns, but I am focusing on the 73 and 92 models for the first time. I load and shoot 32, 38 and 44 WCF in my revolvers and want to buy a few 92's to go with it. I am trying to find original guns in good working condition and good bores. I have a lot more pictures if needed for feedback. These pictures are from the seller, who I thought did a very good job with his photographs.

Looking forward to hearing the good, bad and ugly.
