Hi! I recently came across the original A&F case, hang tag and set of 28″ interchangeable barrels found on the letter for Winchester Model 21 #8768 and would like to reunite them with the current owner. Any help here would be appreciated! For what it’s worth, Cody said a letter was pulled as recent as the fall of 25’ for this item. I can be reached at 937-604-1374 – thanks!

Does that mean that Cody sent the letter to someone last year? Can’t they tell you who they sent it to? Or am I missing something? Thanks and good luck.

I doubt that they will give out personal info. But, they may contact the person for you.

I second Chuck’s suggestion. What I would add is for the OP to draft a letter to the unknown presumptive owner of the Model 21 in question. Attach photographs of the case and spare barrel set, to prove good faith.
Then call Cody and secure their cooperation, advise them of your letter and get the name of the Cody staff person to send it to, along with a check to Cody as a donation to cover their time and postage.
They might help you if you call them instead of going through “all that trouble” but my experience with asking for favors from institutions thinks otherwise. Doesn’t have to be much money but it will improve the atmosphere and sweeten the disposition of the staff person.
