Yes, because I heard of him only a couple of years ago, before he passed…
Didn’t know that for sure, but had suspected it. Used to run into him at shows many yrs ago, and observed some of the guns he bought to dismember–mostly “brown” guns with dinged-up stocks, which–30 yrs ago!–only beginning collectors would be interested in. (Like me, when I was in high-school.) Impossible not to like him, however, as he was a one-of-a-kind character.

Never met him but did speak with him on the phone several times over a couple of year’s span and got to like him from that. He was quite the character and knew his stuff regarding Winchesters.

They are hard to find because some guys are hoarders. 
Not all 1894’s, but all Winchesters
