True, but those are wide swings and a quick willingness to sell it repeatedly after a large sale price previously. I don't mind the touched up paint personally (the touch ups are visible in the 2012 RIA photos), and the rest looks right, but it sure is a nice gun to keep going for so little....that's what bugs me the most I guess.

Did you pick it up, Tony?
The seller told me it "just sold"....some red flags I found googling....RIA sold it for $3k plus the juice in 2012, then this seller was eyeing it on GI in 2022/2023 and asking everyone's opinion on RimfireCentral. The general consensus from the membership was to pass. I emailed the seller and he was excited to share pics but said he got it in a 2024 Montrose auction. When I asked for more pics, it was "just sold."
Buyer beware.

You are correct on all of you're posting information. No It wasn't me! I was wondering if Ben maybe picked it up! I don't see the Red Flags as it is what it is, and the market will bear different values at times of sales! IMO!

I figured it out....I apparently haven't been active enough on RFC (I'm still a fairly new account over there) and I'm blocked from marketplace posts....having said that, it seems the classifieds are littered with scammers according to other sources. If you can PM me the contents of the post I'll look it over, but don't worry if that seems like a pain.

I'm in agreement with both of you gents!
Even though I don't know about Jeremy's house money, but I figure from the other conversations regarding Cody this past month, Ben's suggesting Jeremy did well! Good for you!

Tony

No, that's a good price for sure. Paint could probably be cleaned up.

Tony, can you try a direct link to my PM's? Right-click the thread title and "copy link address"...try that? I still can't find it on RFC but I'm probably looking at the wrong forum... I may not be finding it because it's already gone!

Jeremy... at that price, it's a good buy... plus, you're rolling with house money now....

Without going back through the details of my Schwing books, the rest of the rifle looks like normal wear and finish marks....the 5-SPOT was definitely touched up and made worse...the thin paint leeched into the surrounding wood, not an overall bad rifle though!

No one is going to spend 6 figures much less 7 figures assuming provenance or history. It is up to you as the seller to prove it if you wish to get paid for it. Rather than saying

“Do you think Lucid lines would have made all of these based off antique designs and chose to just freelance a Winchester mirror not based off an antique design?” prove it! Go out and acquire something from Lucid that backs up your belief. One need look no further than eBay to see fake Winchester items that were created and being offered for sale as genuine items!

Does scientific analysis dating mirror to the 1890s based off of materials used help prove that it is real? You have stated this but never offered any proof of this. Post the report you keep citing. Would seem an easy thing to do!

Yes the mirror was reframed in London over 30 years ago but that is something I can’t control.

None of us control the condition items are in when we acquire them but they do in fact affect the value.

I’m just not sure why you want to keep arguing. We have all stated we are happy to eat crow if this thing is real and worth millions. Just go out and prove it. Do the work yourself, hire someone to do it or send the thing to an auction house that will do the work. We would all be thrilled if it is anywhere close to worth what you think it is. Prove us wrong and good luck!

Surely, you must have the piece insured?
