Here’s a few Winchesters to have a look at . It’s rainin’ out so I’m bored and took the pics inside
I still need an’86, ’76 and a ’95 to match these. Any out there available?

Henry – VERY NICE and, RARE. Say, the Holy Grail out the is the 1894 musket, correct? In fact, maybe it is a lot like the Holy Grail in that there is only one? Maybe two?

I think they made 5 or 6 ’94 musket prototypes , but I believe there’s only 2 known of and they never went into production . It sure would be nice to have one in My collection but I;m not holding My breath. The ’86 and ’76 are proving to be tough enough. I know where there is one of each but the ’76 has parts changed and the ’86 makes Me nervous and it’s really expensive for the condition.

This one sold spring, 2013. It is very well documented.
Here it is again in 2019. Different auction house. Sold for less.

I suspect there are more than five but since there are apparently no records of a group of them manufactured it’s far from certain. From what little I know about you, Henry, I feel pretty certain you will prevail and I’m looking forward to hearing about your acquisition. Happy hunting!
