interesting, I have some old Mossberg leather, and they have the same embossing, I suspect there may have been a leathercraft company that catered to gun companies - maybe??

Hi Dan-

Yes... The outside edge of the leather strap has a single embossed line border. Of course after 80-odd years and varying amounts of use it's often very weak. You can usually make it out on at least part of the strap, however.

Lou

P.S. Those pictures are from JWA...

Lou, when you say "Single embossed edge on the leather strap" are you speaking of the single line on each side of the sling as seen in your third picture?

There were a handful of nice 71's for sale at the last Cody show but that shouldn't discourage you from trolling it around to test the waters. I'd fire my CFO but he's wearing my socks right now.

My suggestion to prove to your CFO your "true" intent to sell your "excess', is to attend the Cody WACA show in July... I can guarantee that at least one will sell... the unfortunate flip side, several other items may find their way to your trunk for the drive home... 🙂 ps... that's a very nice group of 71's. You have very good taste. cheers! Ben

I'd like to buy a Winchester 34C 3-leaf express rear sight, as would have been optionally installed at the factory on a circa 1912 1894 SRC. Prefer platinum sight lines. Please no broken or missing leafs and no hammer or punch marks. Standard 3/8″ dovetail. Please send me a PM if you have one and are willing to sell.

The attached photo represents my understanding of the correct configuration & desired condition.

Thanks very much,

Glen Alexander

I'd fire that CFO, they sound a little crazy. (If the CFO is the wife, then disregard.....maybe.)

Nice 71's ....

Has the CFO seen your nicely worded ad?

Merchant of the Old West on For Sale: Winchester Exhibition Shooter Herb Parsons Memorabilia

During my 35-year career at Leupold, I met so many wonderful people in our industry. At the time I was working, we had independent sales representatives who sold our products to distributors and large retail accounts. G.B. Stumpp Associates was our rep for our products in the north east. In one of my conversations with George, he told me that he had assisted Herb Parsons in the mid-50's for a period of time at his shooting exhibitions. Always a fan of the history of our industry, I was impressed. George told me to look for something that would arrive in the mail, and a couple of weeks later, I received a package. In the package was the Winchester/Western shirt, four Winchester target coins (one shot by Herb), and the letter you see in the photo. I have decided to pass these pieces on to someone who will enjoy them as I have. Please contact me via email $250.00
